How much does a
private certifier 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 private certifier; 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 to be the private certifier, 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 being the private certifier, 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 private certifying services, such as extra site inspections or modifications to the complying development certificate.

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

What is a Private Certifier?

A private certifier is a licensed professional who plays a crucial role in ensuring that your building projects adhere to relevant laws, building codes, and safety standards. The responsibility of a private certifier in Sydney is not limited to just appending a signature to the building plans. Private building certifiers undertake the task of inspecting different phases of construction to ascertain that constructed work is in accordance with the approved plans and regulations. Private certifiers are recognised by law and have the legal capacity to provide key building approvals such as Construction Certificates, Complying Development Certificates and Occupation Certificates.

Private building certifiers in Sydney provide an alternative way of obtaining necessary approvals and certifications by working independently of the local councils. Even though certifying services can also be offered by local councils, a lot of home owners prefer the services of private certifiers due to the speed and quicker turn around times and professional assistance they offer.
