What We Can Assist You With
BA3
Certificate of Design Compliance
A Certificate of Design Compliance (CDC or BA3) is the application form for the certification of a proposed buildings or structures (residential or commerical, Class 1-10) design to meet all necessary requirements.
A CDC typically requires;
• Architectural Drawings,
• Engineering Drawings,
• Specifications,
And may require;
• Energy efficiency Reports,
• BAL Assessment
• Soil Classifications etc.
As the CDC is issued prior to an Application for a Building Permit this makes the application a certified application.
BA17
Certificate of Construction Compliance
A Certificate of Construction Compliance (CCC or BA17) is the application form for a building that requires an occupancy permit. A building surveyor must use drawings, specifications, and other technical documents, whilst inspecting the structure to ensure that they meet requirements. In the event that the structure does not meet requirements, it may require a CBC.
A CCC can be issued prior to the completion of a structure to achieve occupancy to part of a structure.
BA18
Certificate of Building Compliance
Retrospective Approval
A Certificate of Building Compliance (CBC or BA18 or Retrospective Approval) is the application form for an unapproved existing structure.
A CBC typically requires;
- • Architectural Drawings
- • Engineering Drawings,
- • Specifications,
And may require;
- • Energy assessment,
- • BAL Assessment,
- • Development Approval,
- • Soil Classification etc.
A CBC will require an inspection to ensure all aspects of the unapproved structure meet necessary requirements for it to be certified.
A CBC can be required for a variety of reasons. Typically, it is required when a structure was built without approval and requires retrospective approval. It may, however, also be required for certifying building strata, temporary modification of an occupancy permit, or change of class or use of a structure.
When the structure requires an occupancy permit, it can only be issued by a registered building surveyor.
