Complying Development Certificate
Complying Development Certificate
A complying development certificate (CDC) is a type of approval that is required for planning and construction. This certificate can be obtained through a registered building surveyor, and it is approved through a fast-track process if the proposed development is considered complying development. Expertise is essential when locating a building surveyor who can guide your complying development certificate process.
What is a complying development certificate?
Complying development can include homes, businesses, and industrial works. This includes fit outs of new businesses, changing the use of a property, and adding to the existing structure. Without the correct certificate, you cannot commence work on your project.
How to begin a complying development certificate application?
To obtain a certificate, you will need to contact a registered building surveyor. Your building surveyor will verify if the proposal is complying development, explain the process and outline what is required. They will provide a complying development certificate cost, which can vary depending on each specific project.
It’s essential to work with an experienced building surveyor with the right knowledge of the market. Anything less may mean a delay on your project.
