The building approval process
Step 1
Starting on the right foot
We understand that navigating the commercial building process can be daunting. That’s why we’re here to guide you through each step, ensuring your project complies with all necessary regulations and is completed on time.
Step 2
Initial consultation
We start with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your project in detail. Whether you’re planning a new commercial building, seeking development approval for existing structures, or making significant alterations, we’ll outline the necessary steps and requirements.
Our goal is to provide you with a clear roadmap from the outset.
Step 3
Documentation review
Once we thoroughly understand your project, we begin the documentation review phase. This involves assessing all necessary documents, including building plans, to ensure they meet local government and City Council standards.
Step 4
Permit issuance
Once the site inspection is completed, we handle the final approval and permit issuance. We liaise directly with the relevant council – to ensure all paperwork is in order and the necessary permits are obtained.
This step includes issuing development permits and any other required certifications.
We work closely with you to gather additional information to support your development application.
Step 5
Ongoing support
Our commitment to you continues after the issuance of permits. We provide ongoing support throughout your construction project, ensuring that any changes or additional requirements are promptly addressed.
Our team is always available to answer questions and provide guidance, helping you navigate challenges.
Step 6
Final site inspection
We conduct thorough final site inspections to ensure your project aligns with all approved plans, building codes, and regulations. Our experienced building certifiers review the completed construction work, verifying compliance with local standards and ensuring quality workmanship. This crucial step includes evaluating structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing, and fire safety features.
After the inspection, we review all necessary documentation, such as certificates of compliance and testing reports, which must be provided as listed on the permit. Once all requirements are met, including the submission of these final certificates, we issue a Certificate of Occupancy.
This final form signifies that the building is safe for use and that the job is officially complete. Our comprehensive inspections provide peace of mind, ensuring your project is completed to the highest standards.

Building approval vs. development approval
The building approval process is separate from development approval. Development approval typically deals with land use and zoning, while building certification focuses on the structural integrity and safety of the construction project. If you’re unsure about whether your project needs accepted development or development approval, our building certifiers can help you clarify the requirements.
