Principal Certifier Appointment (PC)
Certifying Authority & Critical Stage Inspections
A principal certifier must be appointed before building works commence, when that work requires a construction certificate or a complying development certificate. The principal certifier will oversee the development’s construction phase and will complete the mandatory inspections to make sure that building standards are met. Once the building or subdivision work is complete, the principal certifier must complete the final inspections and will issue the final occupation certificate if all requirements have been satisfied.

Certifying Authority & Critical Stage Inspections
After the issue of the Construction Certificate or Complying Development Certificate, during your build, you will need to engage a Certifying Authority to conduct the Mandatory Critical Stage Inspections throughout the building process, and to issue the Occupation Certificate once the building works are complete.
