Commercial Fit Outs

Commercial Fit Out Certifiers – Construction Certifications

Commercial fit-outs can be an expensive process. This is even more true if the design, building certification and safety measures are not done correctly. Therefore, a reliable shop fit-out and renovation building certifier should be one of your first considerations before a team of designers begins planning, designing, producing and installing the required structural alterations, fixtures and joinery.

A1 Certifier has built a reputation over the years for providing effective, timely and expert building certification and compliance consulting services to the commercial building sector.
Our experience and knowledge will help you navigate the essential building code process for future commercial construction sites.

Why do you need a building permit for a commercial fitout? 

Building permits ensure the safety of a construction project’s structure and are reviewed against the Australian Building Code and the Building and Plumbing (Queensland) Code. A licensed building certifier is responsible for verifying that the proposed work complies with the Building Act 1975.
Our building certification and consulting services include store facilities, shopping centres, warehouses, educational buildings, medical centres, assembly buildings, child care facilities, sewage treatment plants, apartment buildings, townhouses, aged care facilities, duplexes, historical buildings, office buildings etc
