WHAT IS A CONSTRUCTION CERTIFICATE?
It’s crucial to obtain a Construction Certificate before building
Building your dream home is almost underway, but it’s essential to ensure that you have all legal documentation and council approvals signed off before construction begins. This is where you need Construction Certificates. In order to acquire the following certificate, it is required that all of your conditions within your Development Application (DA) are adhered to. At Progressive Plans, our experts can create a checklist of the following conditions of your DA, and work through each one, prior to engaging a Certifying authority to properly obtain a CC.
If your new home design project is registered as a CDC (Complying Development Certificate), it is required that a certifying authority is engaged to certify that your design completely complies with CDC legislation. Once the assessment is completed, a certifier will proceed to provide you with a checklist outlining any conditions and requirements to be met before construction starts.
