Why We Stand Out
Industry Experts
Backed by a seasoned team of absolute professionals, we take the approach of blending creativity with data-driven insights to unlock the full potential of every project we undertake.
Reliable & Accredited Team
Not only is our team accredited in their fields, but they are reliable through and through. We are straight down the line, transparent, and confident in our abilities. With us, it’s a job well done.
Delivering Certainty
Engaging Urbicus for your project instils a level of certainty into a project lifecycle. Our clients know what to expect when working with us, and that’s reassurance, quality, and trust.
Environmentally Considered
By putting sustainability at the forefront, as well as resilience, and strength, we're not just shaping results for today – we're laying the groundwork for future generations.
Our Services
New Homes
Our team have the capability to prepare and submit development applications for your new home adventures, ensuring compliance with local Planning Schemes across Queensland.
In Brisbane, the Traditional Building Character Overlay (TBCO) applies to areas developed before 1946, necessitating approval for construction projects that respect local building character. This overlay also encompasses non-residential buildings integral to community character, allowing for various non-residential uses.
Home Renovations
Home renovations add significant value to ones home if done right. At Urbicus, we take pride in collaborating with our clients on their renovation projects, taking ideas from the drawing board and turning them into reality.
We do our part to make sure your home renovations are compliant and within industry standards. Whether you’re planning a major overhaul or a simple addition to your space, we’ll assist in navigating this process for you.
Subdivisions
At Urbicus, we excel in managing and coordinating with a range of consultants, leveraging our town planning expertise to align with our clients’ desired project outcomes.
Our holistic approach considers site issues, planning regulations, and specialist consultations, enabling us to deliver subdivision projects that add significant value. This demands a comprehensive understanding of mapping, scheme overlays, and regulatory requirements.
Multiple Dwellings
At Urbicus, we specialise in optimising development potential across various types of multiple dwellings, encompassing apartments, townhouses, as well as high rises, within compliance with neighbourhood plans and zoning regulations right across Queensland.
Our team of experts possess years of combined experience in obtaining the relevant development approvals for such projects on your behalf.
Demolitions
The Brisbane City Council sets out to preserve pre-1946 homes that fall within the TBCO. This is due to their historical significance and contribution to the city’s character – however, exemptions can be granted under the TBCO (Demolition Code).
If this is something you’re looking into, Urbicus are here to help. Thanks to our experience in the industry, we have the ability to reach out to Council on your behalf regarding demolition queries and applications.
Industrial
Industrial estates, waste transfer stations, transport depots, and warehouse construction are just a few of the industrial projects our team have worked on throughout southeast Queensland, a testament to our extensive combined experience within the sector.
Conducting thorough site investigations during the preliminary stages is imperative in identifying potential environmental hazards, ensuring our design process is efficient.
Commercial & Retail
Our team boast a wealth of experience within the commercial and retail sector, with proficiency in securing development approvals for commercial buildings and retail precincts alike.
As a collective, we identify opportunities to maximise building height and floor plan areas as this is a critical fundamental to the success of these projects. Work with a trusted urban planning and development team today by reaching out to Urbicus.
Sports & Recreation
Our goal is to transform urban landscapes with state-of-the-art sports and recreation facilities. At Urbicus, we are leaders in creating vibrant and engaging communities through implementation of designated spaces and unique designs that cater to specific industries.
We have a drive and a purpose for developing indoor and outdoor hubs for sports and recreational activities, encouraging an active lifestyle, socialising, and personal development through sports and community engagement.
