Assessment of Applications for either Complying Development or Construction Certificates
In NSW, not all development requires DA assessment and approval by Council. AcroCert can provide Complying Development approvals for those types of development that don’t need Council consent. This can include dwelling houses and additions, pergolas and patio covers, garages and carports, and swimming pools.
Should your project require development consent from Council, AcroCert can assess the approved Development Approval plans and development consent in order to work towards the issue of a Construction Certificate. We will ensure that your development meets the requirements of the Building Code of Australia prior to the issue of the consent.
On your next building project AcroCert can:
- Act as the PCA
- Assess building design, construction plans DA conditions of consent to ensure BCA compliance
- Issue Construction Certificates or Complying Development Approvals.
- Conduct ‘mandatory’ critical stage inspections or other inspections as required throughout the course of construction as either an accredited certifier or acting as the PCA
- Issue Occupation Certificates at the completion of works
- Provide advice and assistance on all development and building matters.
AcroCert’s Scope of Works generally includes those tasks required to assess a Construction Certificate or Complying Development Application for determination, to conduct subsequent critical stage inspections and to issue appropriate Occupation Certificates. Such tasks normally include:
- Initial Site Assessment and Inspection
- Assessment of detailed plans and specifications for compliance with the Building Code of Australia;

- Lodgement of appropriate documentation and payment of registration fees with local government authority
- Conduct of mandatory critical stage inspections (including photographic evidence)
- Arrangement and coordination of compliance certificates where appropriate
- Final assessment of conditions of development consent
- Issue of a Final Occupation Certificate
