JOINA assessment
  • The project is likely to require substantial bespoke residential joinery.
  • Architect outreach may identify the builder or tender program.
  • Procurement is probably later than DA assessment but may not yet be fixed.

These are reasoned inferences, not statements from the issuing organisation.

Confirm before contacting
  • Was final consent issued after the panel meeting?
  • Has a builder been selected?
  • Has a construction certificate been lodged?
  • Does the architect invite specialist joinery pricing?
