Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a building certifier for my project in Nowra?

Many residential and commercial building projects require certification and inspections before work can begin or buildings can be occupied.
Requirements depend on the type of project, local planning controls and whether the development qualifies for complying development.
Speaking with a certifier early can help confirm requirements before plans progress too far. You can also review planning information through NSW Planning and local development information through Shoalhaven City Council.

What is the difference between a CDC and a Construction Certificate?

A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) combines planning and construction approval into a single pathway for eligible development that meets specific requirements.
A Construction Certificate is generally required before building work starts following development consent approval.
Bacchus Partners can help determine which pathway may apply to your project.

When should I appoint a Principal Certifier?

A Principal Certifier is typically appointed before building work begins.
The Principal Certifier carries out required inspections throughout construction and helps ensure work progresses in accordance with approved plans and relevant building requirements. Early appointment can help keep projects moving efficiently.
