    Approvals

    We coordinate the drawings, consultants and the DA, CDC or construction certificate your project needs.

  4. 04

    Handover

    Final inspection, occupation certificate, documents and warranties handed over with the keys.

Approvals explained

DA, CDC or CC — which one do you need?

We tell you which approval path suits your project at the feasibility stage.

Development application (DA)

Council approval for a proposed development, assessed against the local planning controls. Approval may come with conditions.

Complying development certificate (CDC)

A combined planning and construction approval for projects that meet set standards. Issued by council or a registered certifier, usually faster than a DA.

Construction certificate (CC)

Needed after a DA and before work starts. Confirms the detailed design meets the National Construction Code and the DA conditions.

Occupation certificate (OC)

Issued at the end of the build, before you move in, confirming the home is suitable to occupy.

Home Building Compensation (HBCF)

Your build is covered before work starts.

HBCF cover is issued through icare NSW and protects home owners if the builder cannot finish the job.

When it applies

In NSW, cover is required for residential building work where the contract price or market cost of labour and materials is over $20,000 including GST.

When you receive it

We give you the HBCF certificate of insurance before we take a deposit or start any work.

What it covers

Loss from incomplete or defective work if the builder cannot complete the work or fix defects because of insolvency, death, disappearance or licence suspension.

Check your certificate

You can confirm a certificate with icare NSW. Ask us at your consultation and we will explain how cover works for your project.
