Service Scope & Disclaimer

Preforma is a service brand operated by Xiaoshuai Song, also known as Shawn Song, trading as Songable Studio, a sole trader, ABN 89 831 726 266.

Preforma is not a separate legal entity or company.

Preforma provides preliminary, information-based property and project decision support.

A review may bring together the client’s objectives, available property information and selected public or third-party sources to identify:

1. apparent value and practical opportunities
2. potential constraints and risks
3. project dependencies
4. material information gaps
5. unresolved matters
6. recommended investigations and professional pathways

The review is preliminary and directional. It does not confirm feasibility, compliance, approval, structural suitability, cost, value, development potential or what can ultimately be built.

Any reference to property potential means only that a matter may be worth further investigation. It is not confirmation that an alteration, renovation, extension or other project is feasible, affordable, approvable or suitable.

Preforma does not provide:

1. architectural services, architectural design or building design
2. formal town-planning advice or approval advice
3. building, pest or condition inspections
4. structural, civil, geotechnical or other engineering advice
5. legal or conveyancing advice
6. property valuation, financial or investment advice
7. quantity surveying or construction costing
8. building-code certification, regulatory certification or permit services
9. buyer representation, property sourcing, negotiation or auction bidding
10. confirmation that a property is suitable, compliant, defect-free, structurally sound or capable of alteration

Where a matter requires specialist assessment, Preforma may recommend that it be investigated by an appropriately qualified or registered professional.

Website content is general information only. It is not advice about a particular property, project or transaction.

Preliminary observations may rely on information supplied by clients or obtained from public and third-party sources. Preforma does not guarantee that this information is complete, current or accurate.

Property boundaries, dimensions, areas, existing conditions and approval records must not be treated as verified unless confirmed by the relevant authority or appropriately qualified professional.

A completed review may only be relied upon by the named client, for the agreed purpose and subject to the accepted scope and Terms of Engagement.

Submitting an enquiry does not create a client engagement and does not require Preforma to accept the requested work.

Before an engagement begins, Preforma will confirm in writing:

1. the review type and agreed scope
2. the applicable fee and GST
3. the expected timing
4. required information and documents
5. relevant assumptions and exclusions
6. the Terms of Engagement

Work begins only after the required documents have been received, the proposal and Terms of Engagement have been accepted, and any required payment conditions have been met.

Website prices and timeframes are indicative unless expressly confirmed in writing.

The final fee and expected delivery date may depend on the property, review scope, information available, location, complexity, urgency and current capacity.

Specialist consultant fees and additional work are not included unless expressly stated in the agreed scope.

Use this website only for lawful purposes. Do not interfere with its security, availability or operation.

Third-party content and links may change and are not controlled or guaranteed by Preforma.

Preforma may update, correct or withdraw website content without notice.

Nothing on this website excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law.
