Building certification services
Statutory certificates and class 1 and 10 specialist pathways, arranged around the way a real residential project progresses.
Most class 1 and 10 building work needs a planning pathway (a development consent or a complying development certificate) and then inspections through to an occupation certificate. Exclusive Certifiers covers that sequence as a private certifier within its registered class 1 and 10 scope.
Not sure where to start? Begin with an approval pathway review. If you already have development consent, start with a construction certificate. If you think the job may be complying development, start with a CDC, including a Pattern Book CDC where that pathway applies. Appoint a principal certifier before work starts.
Structural and stormwater design is prepared by independent qualified engineers. See the documents commonly required.
