Orphaned/Detached Building Permits are unresolved building permits issued by a private building surveyor who cannot complete their role. 

We have the capability and team in place to take over incomplete building permits and can assist owners through the process of appointing BW&A National as their new building surveyor and accepting the transfer of functions.
