How it works

From unsure to organised — in three clear steps.

Navilot doesn't replace your council, your certifier, or your architect. It gets you ready to work with them.

Preparation guidance only

Navilot is not a council approval, planning advice or legal advice. The information here is general guidance to help you prepare. Always confirm requirements with your local council and qualified professionals before making decisions or spending money.
  1. 1

    Tell us about your property and project.

    You answer a plain-English questionnaire about your address, the land, and what you'd like to build. It's designed for homeowners, not planners.

    • Property address and lot details
    • Type of project you're considering
    • Who will use the space
    • Timeframe and budget range
  2. 2

    Navilot identifies possible pathways and unanswered questions.

    Based on the rules we track for your council and project type, Navilot points to the likely approval pathway and the property constraints worth investigating.

    • Preliminary pathway suggestion
    • Constraints to investigate
    • Gaps in what you know
    • Where to look next
  3. 3

    Follow your roadmap, organise documents and speak to the right professionals.

    Your roadmap is a clear checklist, a document workspace, and pointers to the officials and consultants worth contacting first.

    • Recommended actions
    • Document workspace
    • Suggested professionals
    • Links to official sources
