Re-roofing Approvals QLD
Replacing a roof? Regardless of whether it’s a standalone job or part of a bigger build, you’ll probably need building approval. We’re here to help get it sorted.
Re-roofing approvals sorted, with an expert team to provide guidance along the way.
We know the ins and outs of re-roofing approvals in Queensland. Swapping tiles for Colorbond, adding new framing, or repairing storm damage? We’ll let you know upfront if approval is needed, and help you through every step.
Many re-roofing projects can be certified privately, which means faster approvals and fewer delays. If your project involves 20% or more of the roof or structural changes, you’ll likely need approval, and we're the certifiers who can get that sorted for you.
We review your plans and documents, coordinate the building approval, and carry out the final inspection before issuing your certificate. With us, your re-roofing approval is sorted.

What we need
Here are a few things we might need to get started:
- Aerial image highlighting the roof area that will be replaced

Frequently asked questions.
Got questions about re-roofing approvals? We've put together answers to the most common ones.
What’s the difference between planning approval and building approval? Do all projects need approval from Council?
Planning approval (sometimes called a Development Approval - DA) is issued by the local Council. It deals with land use and relaxation matters such as setbacks, zoning, flood or heritage overlays. Building approval is issued by a certifier and relates to how the structure is designed and built to meet the Building Code and legislation.
Some projects need both planning and building approvals and others can go straight through private certification. If council approval is required, we’ll guide you on that process and coordinate referrals as part of our role.
