NSW Pattern Book CDC Assessment for Low-Rise Homes
This is a transactional service for owners, builders and designers who have selected an eligible low-rise NSW Housing Pattern Book design and need a complying development certificate assessed within the class 1 and 10 registration scope.

What this service covers
- Low-rise Pattern Book CDC assessment for class 1 and 10 homes
- Review of a complete Pattern Book application once engaged
- Coordination with principal certifier appointment after the CDC
- Greater Sydney sites where the Pattern Book pathway applies
What Exclusive Certifiers assesses
The certifier assesses whether a complete low-rise Pattern Book CDC application meets the statutory tests. That includes the selected pattern, the Pattern Identification Number, the Design Verification Statement prepared by the appropriate designer, and the supporting architectural, structural, stormwater and constraint documents.
What Exclusive Certifiers does not provide
Exclusive Certifiers does not design Pattern Book homes, prepare the Design Verification Statement, or certify mid-rise Pattern Book development. Mid-rise Pattern Book work uses a development application pathway. Design, architecture and engineering remain with independent professionals.
Determination timing
An eligible Pattern Book CDC application must be determined within 10 days once all required information has been provided. A seven-day neighbour-notification period applies before the certificate can be issued.
How to enquire
Request a fee proposal and say that the project uses a Pattern Book design. Include the Pattern Identification Number if you have it. Submitting the form does not appoint Exclusive Certifiers and does not start a free document review.

Questions about nsw pattern book cdc
Is a Pattern Book design pre-approved for my site?
No. The Pattern Book supplies endorsed designs and a specific approval pathway where all requirements are satisfied. Site constraints, zoning and completeness still have to be assessed.
Does Exclusive Certifiers assess mid-rise Pattern Book projects?
Mid-rise Pattern Book development uses a DA pathway. Exclusive Certifiers’ certification services are limited to class 1 and 10 buildings.
