About Express Permits

We exist to solve a common problem: the building permit process in Victoria is complex, time-consuming, and often frustrating for property owners and builders who just want to get on with their projects.

Who We Are

Express Permits is led by Edmund Hapsburg, bringing hands-on experience in building permits, planning requirements, and property compliance across Victoria.

We work with homeowners, property developers, builders, and commercial property managers. Our clients range from first-time renovators navigating the permit process for the first time to experienced developers who need a reliable partner to manage applications efficiently.

Whether you're extending your family home, developing a multi-unit site, or managing compliance for a commercial property portfolio, we bring the same level of attention and expertise to every project.

Our Approach

We believe the permit process doesn't have to be painful. Here's how we make it easier.

Preparation Prevents Problems

Most permit delays happen because applications are incomplete or don't meet specific council requirements. We invest time upfront to understand your project, identify potential issues, and prepare thorough documentation to commence assessment - like going for a bank loan, you need as much upfront as possible..

Clear Communication

You'll know what's happening with your application. We manage the back-and-forth with surveyors and councils to keep it moving normally it sits there, waiting,but we keep it moving & you informed at each stage so there are no surprises.

Practical Solutions

When compliance issues arise—whether it's a building notice, unpermitted work, or a failed inspection—we focus on finding workable paths forward, not just identifying problems.
