Achieve Fast Building Approvals with Complying Development Certificates
A complying development certificate is essentially a fast-tracked approval process for simple developments in the residential, industrial and commercial sectors. These certificates are granted when a development proposal complies with any applicable Building Code of Australia (BCA) building and planning controls.
SureScope Building Certifiers Newcastle can help fast-track the certification process.
Accredited certifiers and councils can issue complying development certificates. The certificate must be obtained before any building work commences, including site works such as demolition and excavation.
