Frequently asked questions.
Still have a couple of questions? We've put together answers to some of the most common ones.
What documentation is needed for a certification quote?
To do a quote for a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) we just need your site plans that include front, side and rear setbacks as well as elevations (if you have any supporting property documents like a Title Search send that through as well). For a Construction Certificate (CC), all we’ll need is your development consent from Council and your Development Application (DA) stamped plans.
Will Buildcert manage my whole project?
Not quite. We’re here to handle the certification (we’re talking approvals, inspections, and compliance). But, by law, we are unable to offer design or project management services.
I’ve already started construction, can I still get a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) or Construction Certificate (CC)?
Unfortunately not. Neither a CDC nor CC can be issued retrospectively in NSW. If you’ve built without approval, the right path is applying for a Building Information Certificate (BIC) through Council.
What projects need subdivision certification? Do they also need building certification?
Any project that divides land into legally separate lots needs subdivision certification. If you’re also constructing buildings (like townhouses or units), you'll need both subdivision certification and regular building certification, so your project is compliant, safe, and properly recorded.
Sorted.
