Our Project Arborist Process
How we provide project arborist services throughout your construction or development project
Initial Project Review
We begin by reviewing your development plans, tree reports, consent conditions, and construction documentation to understand tree protection requirements and identify critical stages requiring arborist involvement.
Pre-Construction Meeting
Our project arborist conducts a pre-construction meeting with your project team to discuss tree protection requirements, establish communication protocols, review critical milestones, and ensure all parties understand their responsibilities.
Protection Implementation
We oversee the installation of tree protection measures including protective fencing, trunk protection, ground protection, and signage prior to construction commencement, providing documentation for council submission if required.
Regular Site Inspections
Throughout construction, our project arborist conducts scheduled inspections to monitor tree condition, verify protection measure integrity, identify potential issues, and provide guidance to construction personnel on tree protection matters.
Critical Activity Supervision
For activities with higher risks to trees, such as excavation within TPZs, root pruning, or service trenching near trees, we provide direct on-site supervision to minimise impacts and ensure proper techniques are employed.
Compliance Documentation
We prepare detailed inspection reports, maintain photographic records, issue compliance certificates, and prepare formal submissions for council milestone approvals and occupation certificate requirements as specified in your consent conditions.
Project Arborist FAQs
Professional Project Arborist Services for Sydney Construction Sites
Sydney Arborist Solutions provides comprehensive project arborist services for construction and development sites throughout Sydney. Our qualified consulting arborists specialise in providing ongoing tree protection supervision, monitoring and advice throughout all stages of your construction project, ensuring trees identified for retention remain healthy and viable despite nearby building activities.
Our project arborist services are delivered by tertiary-qualified AQF Level 5 arborists with extensive experience in construction environments. We understand both the practical realities of construction sites and the specific requirements of Australian Standard AS4970-2009 (Protection of Trees on Development Sites), allowing us to implement effective tree protection while minimising impacts on your project schedule.
Council-Mandated Project Arborist Requirements
Most Sydney councils now mandate arboricultural supervision as a condition of development consent for projects near significant or protected trees. These conditions typically specify requirements for inspection frequency, documentation, and certification at key project milestones, with formal arborist sign-off often required before occupation certificates can be issued.
Our project arborists have extensive experience with the specific requirements of councils throughout Sydney, ensuring full compliance with all tree-related consent conditions. We provide properly formatted documentation for council submission at each required stage, maintaining detailed records of tree condition, protection measure integrity, and compliance status throughout the construction process.
Comprehensive Tree Protection Supervision
Effective tree protection during construction requires more than just initial installation of protective measures. Our comprehensive project arborist services include regular site inspections to verify protection measure integrity, monitor tree health, identify potential issues before they cause significant impacts, and ensure ongoing compliance with consent conditions throughout the construction process.
For critical construction activities near trees, such as excavation within Tree Protection Zones, root pruning, or service trenching, we provide direct on-site supervision to ensure works are conducted using techniques that minimise impacts on tree health and stability. Our practical guidance helps construction teams complete necessary works while maintaining effective tree protection.
Project Documentation and Certification
Documentation is a critical component of project arborist services, particularly for council compliance purposes. Our comprehensive documentation package includes detailed pre-construction assessments establishing baseline conditions, written verification of protection measure installation, regular inspection reports with photographic evidence, specific reports for critical activities, and formal compliance certificates for milestone approvals.
For occupation certificate requirements, we provide final tree condition assessments and formal certification confirming that all tree protection conditions have been satisfied throughout the construction process. Our properly formatted documentation helps streamline council approvals and provides important legal protection for property owners, developers, and contractors regarding tree protection compliance.
