The type of hoarding you require will depend on the site. Do you require overhead protection (B-Class hoarding) or a simple site fence (A-Class hoarding)? If overhead protection or B-Class hoardings are necessary, these can be modular or structural. If you require scaffolding, site sheds or any other loads need to be supported by the B-Class hoarding, we can discuss your requirements based on the loads.

A-Class hoarding is also known as a site fence. B-Class hoarding provides overhead protection. B-Class hoardings can be designed to incorporate an A-Class fence to eliminate the need for two different systems, making it more cost effective.

It is your responsibility to submit any applications to council in relation to the approval of the hoarding. We will support you in this process by providing the necessary structural drawings and relevant Engineer’s certificate to submit your application.

1. Onsite meeting to do a detailed set out of the proposed hoarding/s.
2. Total Hoardings will draw up the plans for your review.
3. You provide confirmation that the hoarding and the set-out discussed on site meet your requirements. Any changes should be noted as soon as they arise.
4. Total Hoardings will provide final drawings and Engineer’s certificate. We will need any required loading information (for B-Class hoardings) to be submitted prior to submission to the engineer. This information can be provided at a later date, however, could incur additional engineering/drafting costs.
5. You submit the application to the relevant Council/authority.
6. Once approved, you will need to supply Total Hoardings with a physical copy of the full Council approval.
7. Total Hoardings apply for the relevant work permit and organise installation.
8. Installation onsite.
9. Total Hoardings provide Engineer’s certificate for the installation.
10. You submit Engineer’s certificate for the installation to the relevant Council.

A-Class and Modular B-Class – In most cases, the drawing will be available within 2-7 days from set-out, depending on the complexity and size of the project.

Structural B-Class, shed platforms and facade retentions will vary depending on the project size and complexity. Drawings can be available from 7 days to 2 or 3 weeks from set out.

We will be better able to advise on the timeframe once we have quoted your specific job.

All works built on public land generally require Council approval, which is the responsibility of the client to manage, with information provided by Total Hoardings. Any works installed on, or affecting property not belonging to the site or council will need the approval from the owner. The client is responsible for obtaining all or any approvals required for the installation of the hoardings.

Works on private property may not need an approval for the structure, but may need approvals for undertaking the works (out of hours).

Total Hoardings will manage all aspects of the installation. We will organise the work permit and any necessary traffic control services (subject to traffic control being part of the scope of works) and will work in partnership with the relevant Council in the case of any events that may impact our work.
