Sydney's Top Private Certifier for Building Approvals

A private certifier (an accredited certifier under NSW law) assesses building work against the same standards as council, but with faster turnaround and dedicated, one-on-one service. Whether you're building a new home, adding a granny flat or renovating, the right certifier keeps your project compliant and moving — without the long council queues.

What a private certifier does

From planning to handover, a private certifier can:

• Issue Complying Development Certificates (CDC) for eligible projects.
• Review and issue Construction Certificates.
• Act as your Principal Certifier and carry out critical-stage inspections.
• Issue the Occupation Certificate so you can move in.
