Home/ CC package

Construction Certificate · Stage 2

Everything your certifier needs
to let your build begin.

Certifiers reject incomplete packages, and every rejection costs weeks. We assemble, check and coordinate every document your Principal Certifier needs — lodged through the NSW Planning Portal, formatted the way they want to receive it.

What's in the package

The CC documentation pack,
item by item.

Not every project needs every line — your DA conditions decide that. Your free assessment tells you which of these apply to you.

  • DA conditions review and a written pre-CC compliance schedule
  • Architectural construction drawings coordinated to the approved plans
  • Specifications and finishes schedule
  • Structural engineering drawings and certification
  • Hydraulic and stormwater design
  • BASIX certificate and evidence of committed measures
  • National Construction Code compliance documentation
  • Fire safety schedule where applicable
  • Waste management plan
  • Geotechnical, acoustic, arborist, bushfire and traffic reports as conditioned
  • Long service levy and applicable fees checked before lodgement
  • Section 4.55 modification advice where the design has drifted
  • Sydney Water and utility authority requirements flagged early
  • Consistency check: construction set against the approved DA set
  • NSW Planning Portal lodgement
  • Certifier queries answered through to issue

Where CC applications stall

Four things hold up most
Northern Beaches CC packages.

Conditions nobody read closely

The most common cause

A notice of determination can run to forty or more conditions. Several of them quietly require a report, a plan or a payment before the CC can issue. They're found late, and each one adds its own lead time.

Drawings that drifted from the DA

The most expensive cause

Between approval and construction documentation, windows move, levels change, a room grows. If the result is no longer consistent with the consent, the certifier cannot issue — and a Section 4.55 modification becomes the critical path.

BASIX commitments not carried through

The most avoidable cause

The BASIX certificate commits you to specific measures. If the construction drawings and specification don't visibly reflect every committed item, the package comes back.

Consultant reports that don't answer the condition

The most frustrating cause

A report can be perfectly good and still not address what the condition asks for. We read both sides — the condition and the response — before anything is lodged.

What it costs

Scoped from your conditions,
quoted before we start.

We don't publish a single price, because a three-condition CC and a forty-condition CC are not the same job. What we do publish is the method: your free assessment produces a written document list, and the fixed-fee quote is built from that list. No hourly surprises, and no work begins before you've accepted the scope.

Certifier fees, council fees, the long service levy and consultant fees are separate and paid to those parties directly — we tell you which apply so nothing lands unexpectedly.

What you receive

A written conditions schedule, a document register kept current as items arrive, the assembled package as lodged, and a single point of contact from assessment through to issue.

What you don't have to do

Chase engineers. Interpret planning conditions. Learn the Planning Portal. Wonder where it's up to.

Before you decide it can wait

What is the delay actually costing you?

Interest, rent, storage and holding costs keep running whether or not anything is happening on site. Move the sliders — the number updates as you go. Nothing is sent anywhere; it all runs in your browser.
