Construction Certificates
The drawings and documents your certifier needs before building can start, prepared and coordinated by the studio.
A development consent approves the design. A Construction Certificate confirms that the detailed plans comply with the Building Code of Australia and the conditions of that consent. Building work under a DA cannot start without one. A CDC covers both steps in a single certificate.
We prepare the construction set, coordinate the structural engineer and the other consultants, and work through the consent conditions one by one so nothing is left for site. Your registered certifier issues the certificate.
The same set is what a builder prices from. Clear documentation is what makes tender prices comparable, and it carries the design intent through to the build.

Questions people ask
All questionsDo you handle the council approval process?
Yes, we manage the entire approvals process on your behalf. This includes preparing all documentation, lodging the application, responding to council queries, and keeping you updated on progress throughout.
Do you supervise the construction?
We offer construction support where we review progress at key stages and respond to builder queries to ensure the design is built as intended. This is not full site supervision but provides an important design oversight role during the build.
Do you recommend builders?
We can introduce you to builders we have worked with and trust, but the final choice is always yours. We also help you evaluate builder quotes to ensure they align with the documented scope and specifications.
