What do we actually do?
To understand the process, it is important to understand what we do. NSW Fair Trading explains:
“Registered building surveyors issue certificates under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (construction certificates, complying development certificates and occupation certificates), act as the principal certifier for development, and inspect building work.
The principal certifier will attend the site to carry out mandatory inspections at certain stages. When construction is complete, the certifier may issue an occupation certificate, which signifies that the work:
• is ‘suitable for occupation’ – this does not necessarily mean all building work is complete
• is consistent with the approved plans and specifications
• meets all applicable conditions of the approval.
The certifier does not manage or supervise builders or tradespeople or certify that the builder has met all requirements of the applicant’s contract with the builder.”
