Our frequently asked Retrospective Inspections & Permits questions

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

You will be required to have a retrospective Building Permit issued for compliance and
then satisfy any final requirements made by the Certifier. This process should take between 15 and certifierss days.

Once we’ve issued your Decision Notice, it will specify the listed inspections required and documents that must be supplied before we can issue your final forms.

Depending on the stage of your work, you may require an inspection. Please contact our administration three days before the inspection is needed so we can arrange a suitable time. Our office number is (07) 3823 2829.
