[ Our approach ]
From plan to approval, here’s how we help.
01
Approval PathwayWhat it is
Your project will need either a Development Application (DA) and Construction Certificate (CC) (Building Approval) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) (combined planning and building approval) before construction can commence. If you aren't sure which pathway is right for your project, no worries, we can help you out with this.
If your project requires a Building Approval pathway, this means you first need to go through the DA process with your local Council. Once you have received your development consent, then back to Buildcert for your CC. For a combined planning and building approval pathway, you are good to progress straight to the next stage.
Why it matters
Picking the right pathway means faster, smoother approvals and no costly backtracking.
