After completing the first four stages, the next step is to apply for a Construction Certificate (CC). This certificate must be obtained before any building work can commence. A CC application can be lodged at the same time as a Development Application (DA) or at a later date. In some cases, it can even be lodged and approved concurrently with the DA, or after DA consent has been granted and all conditions have been met.

​

The CC includes detailed building plans, engineering details, and site specifications. It certifies that the construction plans and development specifications are consistent with the DA approval and comply with the Building Code of Australia. Throughout this process, we are by your side. While we recommend lodging the application through an accredited private certifier, you may also choose to apply via your local council.

Once your CC has been approved, the final step is to engage your builder and commence construction!
