A Construction Certificate (CC) is a document that confirms that the detailed construction plans and specifications for a building project comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA), relevant standards, and the approved development consent. It is an approval that is required to be issued by the building certifier before commencing construction.
The Construction Certificate ensures that all aspects of the construction, including the building’s structural integrity, fire safety, and design elements and documentation adhere to the required standards and development consent. Without a Construction Certificate, you cannot legally start construction, even if you have development consent.
The plans and specifications submitted for the Construction Certificate are reviewed to ensure they meet the BCA and other relevant standards. This includes checking aspects like structural adequacy, fire safety measures, safe movement and access.
The Construction Certificate verifies that the construction details are consistent with the conditions of the development consent. Any deviations from the approved plans could require amendments or a new development application.
The certificate covers the detailed architectural and engineering drawings, specifications, and any other necessary documentation, ensuring everything aligns with legal requirements before construction begins.
To obtain development consent from the local council, you will need to submit a detailed development application (DA) that includes plans, site analysis, and required reports. This application must show that the proposed development meets local zoning laws and planning guidelines. If the project complies with all requirements, the council will issue development consent and stamped architectural building plans.
Update the DA approved architectural plans and ensure your other documentation including BASIX, structural, and services drawings, are detailed and compliant with the BCA and relevant standards and development consent.
Lodge your application with a certifier or the local council, including all necessary documentation, such as plans, specifications, and any required reports.
Once the certifier is satisfied that all aspects of the project meet the required standards and are consistent with the development consent, a Construction Certificate will be issued, allowing you to proceed with construction.
Ensures that your project meets all legal requirements before construction begins, avoiding potential fines or orders to cease work.
Provides confidence that the building will be constructed to a high standard, adhering to safety and quality regulations.
Once obtained, the Construction Certificate allows you to proceed with construction without further delays, as long as all conditions are met.

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