PRE-APPROVAL CONSULTING SERVICES

---

At Home Building Certifiers, we offer a range of pre-approval consulting services to support homeowners, builders, and architects in navigating the planning and certification process. 

Our pre-approval consulting services include:

• Preliminary planning advice to help determine the most suitable approval pathway for your project—Complying Development Certificate (CDC) or Development Application (DA);
   
• Pre-lodgement plan assessments for Complying Development to identify potential issues before submission;
   
• Building Code of Australia (BCA) plan reviews to ensure design compliance with relevant performance requirements and Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions;
   
• Development Consent reviews, interpreting council-issued conditions and assisting with the preparation of Construction Certificate (CC) applications.
   

We work closely with clients to ensure development plans are prepared with the necessary detail to meet the requirements of the NSW legislation and BCA.

The Building Code of Australia is a complex and highly technical document. Even experienced industry professionals can find it challenging to interpret. By engaging our team early in the process, you gain the benefit of expert reviews aligned with the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions of the BCA. This proactive approach helps to ensure compliance, minimise delays, and reduce the risk of costly rectifications during construction and beyond.

Note:

Once we have been engaged to provide any type of preliminary planning or building advice, we cannot be appointed as the Certifier for the development due to the conflict of interest provisions, meaning you would need to appoint another Certifier or Council to carry out the certification work for your development.
