Approvals

Makki Constructions will take care of the application and approval process required for your Project. This includes preparing and lodging your Development Application, Building Certification requirements and work-related approvals. For you, this means you deal with only one person for the entire process and the paperwork and headache is taken out of the equation! This includes:

Construction Certificate
A Construction Certificate is an approval that ensures that if a building is erected in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, it will also comply with the technical requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and other relevant Australian standards. It certifies that the detailed plans and specifications are consistent with the Development Consent and certifies that the relevant Development Consent conditions have been complied with. It certifies that other relevant legislative provisions have been met and that all required contributions and fees have been paid.

Principal Certification
Having obtained Development Consent and then a Construction Certificate, the applicant is required to appoint a Principal Certifying Authority (PCA) prior to commencing any Building work. A PCA is the body responsible for ensuring compliance with the Construction Certificate, the BCA and other applicable requirements during the construction process. The PCA also checks compliance with the requirements of any Development Consent.

An Occupation Certificate certifies that the building or nominated part of the building is safe and suitable to be occupied. The Occupation Certificate must be obtained from the PCA prior to the occupation of a new building (or part of a building). Prior to issuing an Occupation Certificate, the PCA must be satisfied that the construction works satisfy the legislative requirements, conditions of  the development consent, and the building or nominated part of the building is safe and suitable for occupation under the requirements of the BCA.

Building Certificate

Obtaining a Building Certificate for a property is a way an owner, or potential purchaser, or a financial institution can be assured that the structural assets on the property are in reasonable repair and safe.  A certificate is usually applied for when selling property.
