Your whole development application,
run for you.
Commit your property and your works, and we manage the whole DA — strategy, documents, consultant coordination, lodgement, and the RFI response. Every document we prepare is reviewed and approved by a qualified development professional (Master of Architecture) before it’s lodged. You watch the progress; we do the work.
The $150 report is credited toward your $1,999 DA Project within 30 days.
A planning consultancy charges $4,000–$8,000 in professional fees to run your DA. Casa runs it for a flat $1,999.
Same job — strategy, documents, consultant coordination, lodgement, and the council back-and-forth. Consultant fees and council fees are separate under either model; what changes is the professional fee to run it.
Five stages, tracked live in your workspace
Every Full DA Project moves through the same stage tracker — you watch the progress; we do the work.
Strategy
We start from your Preliminary Planning Report: the pathway, the constraints, and the precedents that matter. Your DA strategy is set before a single document is drafted.
Documents
Our system prepares your DA documents — planning report, DA forms, owner’s consent, cover letter — grounded in real council decisions. Every one is reviewed and approved by a qualified development professional (Master of Architecture) before it goes anywhere.
Consultants
We coordinate the surveyor, engineer and architect your application genuinely needs, and fold their work into the DA package. Their fees are quoted to you separately — you approve before anything is ordered.
Lodgement
We lodge the application with council on your behalf and confirm it is properly made. You watch it happen from your project workspace.
Council back-and-forth
We manage the assessment and draft your response when council issues an information request (RFI) — through to council’s decision.

What we do, what we don't, and who decides
No approval guarantees, no hidden fees, no overclaiming. Here's exactly how it works.
Professionally reviewed, every time
Documents are prepared by our system, grounded in real council decisions — and every one is reviewed and approved by a qualified development professional (Master of Architecture) before lodgement.
Consultant & council fees are separate
The $1,999 covers our professional fees to run your DA. Consultant fees (surveyor, engineer, architect), council application fees and any RFI work are quoted and billed separately — a normal part of every DA.
Council makes the decision
No one can guarantee an approval, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What we control is the quality of the application: prepared, reviewed, lodged properly, and managed through to a decision.
