BUILDING SURVEYING TEAM

Jason Daniels

Is the sole Director of Advance Building Strategies and serves as the company’s Principal Building Surveyor. With over a decade of experience in local government and more than 30 years in the private sector—following the deregulation of building permit functions from municipal authorities—Jason brings extensive expertise across residential, commercial, and complex development projects.

Jason is known for his calm leadership, integrity, and clear communication. He takes pride in guiding clients through complex approvals with a practical yet thorough approach—always balancing regulatory compliance with real-world project needs. With a strong commitment to professional and ethical standards, Jason has earned a trusted reputation for delivering focused, solutions-driven service built on doing things the right way.

Advance Building Strategies is not the lowest-cost permit provider—and that’s by design. Instead of focusing on high-volume, standardized work, Jason has built the business around partnering with quality-focused, professional clients who prioritize compliance, value well-considered outcomes, and respect the statutory responsibilities of the Relevant Building Surveyor.
