What our customers have to say

How much does a
building approval cost?

At Darook Building Approvals, we understand that every construction project is unique, with its own distinct design and construction process. Because of this, we don’t offer standard pricing for the building approval; instead, we tailor our fees to suit the specific needs of each project.

Our process starts with a complimentary review of the architectural building plans and any other design documentation such as the council approved development consent. During this stage, we meticulously examine the building plans against the complying development certificate legislation or development consent and building codes, with the goal of issuing the complying development certificate or construction certificate promptly. Our fee proposal provides essential details, including the costs involved for the building approval, documentation required for the complying development certificate or construction certificate, as well as an initial BCA review and feedback.

Our comprehensive fee proposal covers all necessary aspects involved in the building approval, including the cost to issue the complying development certificate or construction certificate, the appointment of the principal certifier, mandatory site inspections, and the occupation certificate. We also include an outline of any potential additional building approval services, such as extra site inspections or modifications to the complying development certificate.

If you want us to provide you with a fee proposal for your building approval, please send over your architectural building plans and/or development consent to get us started.

A Complying Development Certificate is a type of planning and construction approval issued by either a local council or an accredited private certifier. It is an alternative to a Development Application and a Construction Certificate for certain types of development that meet specific criteria outlined in the State Environmental Planning Policy 2008.

A construction certificate is required to be issued by the building certifier before building works can start. The construction certificate verifies that the construction plans are consistent with the development consent (DA) and comply with the building code of Australia (BCA).

Class 1 and Class 10 building approvals in Sydney refer to different types of buildings categorised under the Building Code of Australia (BCA). The BCA classifies buildings into various classes based on their use, size, and occupancy. Specifically:

  • Class 1a buildings: Class 1 buildings are houses. Typically, they are standalone single dwellings of a domestic or residential nature. These buildings can also be horizontally attached to other Class 1 buildings.
  • Class 10 buildings: These are non-habitable structures that are detached from the main building, such as garages, sheds, carports, and other similar structures.
