New homes
A new house is the clearest class 1 certification journey: approval to start, inspections through the build, and an occupation certificate when the home is suitable to occupy.
CDC or development consent
Some new homes qualify as complying development. Others need a council development application first, then a construction certificate. Exclusive Certifiers assesses both certificate types within class 1 and 10 scope.
Through construction to occupation
After the CDC or CC is issued, the owner appoints a principal certifier. Critical-stage inspections follow the approval. The occupation certificate closes the statutory path when the home is suitable to occupy.
Questions about new homes
When should I engage a private certifier for a new home?
As soon as the design is stable enough for a fee proposal. Early pathway clarity avoids redraws and missed inspection hold points later.
