How do I arrange a mandatory inspection?
It’s easy. Just use our online booking form, call us on 1300 457 400, or email us at inspect@buildcert.com.au.
Before booking, make sure the work is ready to be inspected, this helps us complete the check without delays. After each inspection, you’ll receive a clear, written report from one of our registered certifiers, confirming what’s compliant and outlining anything that still needs to be sorted.
Do you issue Pool Compliance Certificates?
No, we don’t provide Pool Compliance Certificates. If you need one, check the NSW Swimming Pool Register for a list of licensed certifiers. That said, we can handle certification for new pool builds, ensuring everything is compliant from the start.
What’s the difference between a Construction Certificate and a Complying Development Certificate; and which one do I need?
Both are types of building approval, but they apply in different situations:
- Complying Development Certificate (CDC): This is a fast-tracked approval that combines both planning and building approval in one. If your project meets specific rules under the State’s Housing Code (like height limits, setbacks and site coverage), you can skip council and get approved by a private certifier, often much faster.
- Construction Certificate (CC): This is used when your project has already been through the full Development Application (DA) process with council. A DA gives planning approval, and the CC is the building approval that follows. You’ll need both before work can start.
