Building Certification

Private Building Certification or Surveying

Building Certification or Surveying was introduced by the Government and was born out of a need to restructure and improve the building application processes.

A building approval or Council approval (as it is more commonly called) is required prior to the commencement of your construction.

Building development has ever increasing and complex planning and regulatory requirements. Local council planning schemes contain an abundance of limitations and allowances requiring a sound knowledge of how to navigate the planning schemes.

It is important to have a professional and experienced team to assist and ensure that you achieve compliance and Downs Building Approvals does just that.

Down Building Approvals aims to provide expert advice during the building certification process and are keen to be involved in a project early on in the design stage and can advise on compliance matters to reduce expensive and time consuming re-designs.

We work with our client to ensure their development complies with all requirements and provisions of the local authority, Qld Development Code, Building Act, National Construction Code and Australian Standards.
