Our audit strategy for building certifiers
Waverley's labor mayor, paula masselos, said the council was concerned about issues at building sites under the authority of private certifiers. "[we] would like to see improved auditing of certifiers and faster responses from fair trading nsw to complaints from residents and council," she said. Complaints about private certifiers received by the city of ryde rose from 373 in 2015 to 805 last year, while the city of canterbury bankstown received 364 complaints last year, about the same number as 2019. The most common complaints involved works conducted outside of hours, breaching conditions of consent, and building works not in accordance with plans.
Building and development certifiers
Professional certification group are experts in assessing applications for construction certificates and complying development certificates. We are also accredited to act as the principal certifier and undertake critical stage inspections to issue necessary certificates including occupation certificates. Each of our private certifiers is an expert on state and council laws which apply to building, including the building code of australia and state environmental planning policies (sepp), ensuring you will get the best professional guidance you need to complete your building project with fewer issues.
Complying development certificates (cdc) are a form of development permission that allows you to complete work without needing building approval. By complying with the relevant cdc, you can disregard certain requirements under the environmental planning and assessment act 1979, including size limitations and design specifications. A complying development certificate is a certificate issued by private certifiers, which can act as the principal certifying authority, that authorizes building or renovation work for which approval would not normally be given. A certifying authority, which includes a private certifier, may issue these certificates under the environmental planning and assessment act 1979.
If your development needs approval, you must appoint a principal certifier. This can be a registered building surveyor, your local council or a registered body corporate (certification company). Your builder isn't allowed to appoint the certifier or influence your choice of certifier. The certifier isn't a project manager or site supervisor. The builder is responsible for building in accordance with the approved plans and for the work of subcontractors, and the applicant is responsible for meeting the conditions of development consent. You must enter into a contract with the certifier before any certification work is carried out. The contract must be accompanied by one of the following information sheets about the role of certifiers and your responsibilities as the applicant:.
