DA Approval Services for Renovations, Extensions & New Homes

I recently had my DA approved in Menai for my new home build, and I could not have asked for a better experience. Going into the process, I expected stress, delays and confusion, but Dura Group completely changed that for me. Mark and Patricia were always available to answer my questions, even the small ones and they never made me feel like an inconvenience. Their communication was clear, honest and consistent, which gave me confidence at every step. What really stood out was how proactive they were with council requirements and paperwork. Instead of me chasing updates, they were already two steps ahead. The architect was incredibly accommodating also, happily adjusting plans and offering smart suggestions that improved the design without losing my vision. What also gave me real peace of mind was working directly with the builder throughout the DA process. Having Mark involved early added an extra layer of confidence — I knew the design wasn’t just great on paper, but practical, compliant and buildable. Thanks to their organisation, attention to detail and genuine commitment, my DA was approved smoothly and I’m now stepping into the build phase feeling excited.

"We worked with Dura Group for our CDC approval and home extension, and honestly, they made the whole process so easy. What started out feeling really overwhelming quickly became simple thanks to Patricia — she was so organised, clear, and genuinely supportive every step of the way. Once everything was approved, the team completed our renovation and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The whole experience was smooth, stress-free, and felt really personal. I’d definitely recommend Dura Group to anyone wanting an easy approval process and a high-quality build.'"
