COUNCIL & COMPLIANCE

Approved. Compliant. Certified.

We manage the council approval process and regulatory compliance for construction projects across Sydney. DA to OC, handled properly.

The Approval Process Does Not Have to Slow You Down

Every construction project in NSW requires approvals. Development applications, complying development certificates, construction certificates, occupation certificates. Each has its own requirements, timeframes, and documentation. Miss a step and the project stalls.

We have worked through the approval process with councils across Sydney. We know what each council expects, how to prepare documentation that does not get sent back, and how to keep the approval timeline aligned with the construction programme.

Beyond approvals, we manage ongoing compliance throughout the build. BCA/NCC requirements, fire safety provisions, accessibility standards, and condition of consent compliance are tracked and documented from start to finish.

Approvals We Manage

We coordinate the full approval pathway for your project, from initial application through to final certification.

Development Application (DA)

We support DA preparation by coordinating plans, consultant reports, and supporting documentation. We liaise with council planners and respond to requests for information to keep the application moving.

Complying Development Certificate (CDC)

For projects that meet the criteria, CDC offers a faster pathway than DA. We prepare and lodge CDC applications through accredited certifiers, ensuring all SEPP requirements are addressed.

Construction Certificate (CC)

We coordinate all documentation required for CC issue, including structural engineering, fire safety, accessibility, and BASIX. We work with your certifier to resolve any outstanding items efficiently.

Occupation Certificate (OC)

Final inspections, fire safety certification, and condition of consent compliance are coordinated to achieve OC issue on programme. We ensure all documentation is complete before the final inspection.

Compliance We Track

Regulatory compliance is not a one-off task. We manage it across the entire project lifecycle.

  • BCA/NCC compliance across all building classifications
  • Fire safety provisions and Annual Fire Safety Statement coordination
  • Accessibility standards (AS 1428) and DDA compliance
  • BASIX certificate requirements and energy efficiency
  • Conditions of consent tracking and documentation
  • Critical stage inspection scheduling with certifiers
  • Stormwater and erosion control compliance
  • Work health and safety documentation and site compliance
