Jordan Florance founded Permission to Build with a clear goal: to make the building approval process simple, transparent, and stress-free for homeowners, builders, and developers across Northern Victoria and Southern NSW. With years of hands-on experience in the building industry, Jordan holds an Unlimited Building Surveyor registration, qualifying him to assess and approve projects of any size — from a backyard shed to a large commercial development.
Based in Echuca, Jordan brings genuine local knowledge to every project. He understands the requirements of councils across the region, including Campaspe Shire, City of Greater Bendigo, and Greater Shepparton City Council, and knows how local conditions, zoning, and overlays can affect a build. This local insight means fewer surprises and faster approvals for clients.
For property owners and builders looking for a surveyor they can rely on from start to finish, Permission to Build offers exactly that.
An unlimited registration is the highest accreditation level, allowing a surveyor to assess and approve buildings of any size, height, or BCA classification.
Limited surveyors can only handle certain BCA classes, like small Class 1 dwellings, while Unlimited surveyors cover everything — homes, sheds, and large commercial developments.
Engaging an Unlimited Building Surveyor means one qualified professional manages your entire project, regardless of scale, without needing to bring in another surveyor as the project grows.
