Commercial Development – Building Certification

Building certification from Brisbane to Gold Coast

Whether building a residential development, a commercial building, or an addition to an existing property, a building permit and certification is required to ensure safety and compliance with relevant building codes in your area.
A building certification from a private certifier confirms that your building is compliant with local and state regulations.
This also applies to future developments or subdivisions.

What Is Building Certification?

In Queensland, it is a legal requirement to assess buildings and structures against the Building Assessment Regulations. These provisions include:

  • The Australian Building Code (Volumes 1 and 2 of the National Building Code).
  • Queensland Development Code.
  • Various other Queensland regulations.

Regardless of the size or scope of your building project, A1 Certifiers, the professional private building certifier Qld, offers the highest level of service. Our experienced construction industry professionals can certify your project through all construction phases to ensure a smooth process.

The building certifier will also cover the relevant permits and documentation required throughout the construction process, which must be submitted to your local council.
