Believe it or not, this happens frequently within the building industry. We’ve had several cases of clients being left with half jobs done and their certifiers going into liquidation. Once we can confirm that the previous certifier has been disengaged or verify the business has gone into liquidation we can then guide you through the process of completing your project.

Yes, our team does all ranges of work from both builders and owner builders. After support for retaining walls? As part of our Company Policy and Insurance, we will only accept a QBCC Registered builder to complete retaining wall works.
Both the building contractor and owner are responsible for ensuring building work is carried out to a standard of quality and finish required by the owner under the conditions of contract. The private certifier is not responsible for standards of workmanship higher than the acceptable health and safety standards called upon by State legislation. Private certifiers are licensed to practice by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission and must abide by State legislation and Code of Conduct.
The Code and the laws require a private certifier to act in the public interest and not take action that would compromise the health and safety of any person, the amenity of their property or significantly conflict with a local council’s planning scheme. The Code also sets out standards of
conduct and professionalism expected from certifiers.
Once we have received all documents required, the certifier generally takes 10 to 15 business days.
You will receive an information request with all the items required for us to issue a Building Permit within ETA 10 to 15 business days after engaging us. From there, once you have satisfied all the items listed on the information request, the Building Approval generally takes 2-3 business days to complete, stamp and issue.
