Guides
Supporting explainers and document lists. Core certificate services stay primary — these guides help when LMR, Pattern Book or pack readiness becomes relevant.
Start with core services
- Complying Development Certificates — CDC assessment for eligible class 1 and 10 homes, including standard and Low-Rise Housing Diversity Code pathways.
- Construction Certificates — Certificates that confirm building work complies with the approved development consent and the NCC.
- Principal Certifier — Principal certifier appointment and critical-stage inspections from construction through to occupation.
- Occupation Certificates — Certificates so a building, or an approved stage or part, can be lawfully occupied or used.
