Private certifier approval under NSW SEPP — no council delays. Best for standard sites.
🕒 3–6 weeks typicalComplete Development Application — needed for heritage, flood, or non-compliant sites.
🕒 8–16 weeks typicalTwo of the most critical — and most delayed — steps in any residential build. We make them fast, clear, and stress-free.
A CC is your permission to start building. Once your DA or CDC is approved, you still need a CC before a single shovel hits the ground. It confirms your construction plans and specifications comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and your approval conditions.
Without a CC, you cannot legally build — and delays here mean your loan starts ticking with no progress on site.
An OC is your permission to occupy or sell. Without it, you cannot move in, rent, or settle on a sale — even if the building is physically complete. Banks will not release construction loan funds without it. It is the final legal sign-off that everything was built as approved.
Every week without an OC is a week of full loan interest with zero rental income or sales proceeds.
A developer in Ryde completed construction of a duplex in August. The builder handed over the keys — but the OC wasn't lodged correctly. Back and forth with the certifier over missing stormwater documentation. Three weeks pass. Then six.
Add the holding costs, insurance, and opportunity cost, and delays in OC or Subdivision approval routinely cost NSW developers $20,000–$60,000 in unnecessary expenses.
We have managed hundreds of these situations. Our job is to make sure it doesn't happen to you.
