Application Process
To begin the application process, you will need to consider if you are applying for:
a) Construction Certificate
The Construction Certificate process involves a two-step approach:
1. Development Application
2. Construction Certificate
This covers any type of development requiring development consent under a Local Environmental Plan (LEP), State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP), or Development Control Plans (DCP), by way of a Development Application (DA) approval.
b) Complying Development Certificate (CDC)
Complying development is a fast-track approval process for straightforward residential, commercial and industrial development that does not require a council development approval. Strict guidelines for the classification of a CDC are based on the NSW State Environment Planning Policy (SEPP) 2008.
All applications must be submitted via the NSW Planning Portal, as Illawarra Building Certifiers Pty Ltd can no longer accept direct applications.
Construction Certificate Process
Achieving your Construction Certificate (and Occupation Certificate) in 5 Easy Steps:
1. Obtain a Development Consent (DC) from your local council
2. Apply for a Construction Certificate, providing detailed plans and specifications for the development
3. Commence building, adhering to the approved plans and specifications
4. Arrange for site inspections during various stages of construction
5. Receive an Occupation Certificate, allowing you to occupy or use the building
A Construction Certificate confirms that the plans and specifications for your building work or development are consistent with the development consent and comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) and any other council requirements. Prior to development or building works, council approval must be obtained by submitting a Development Application (DA) online via the NSW Planning Portal. Once the Development Application is approved, it results in a written Development Consent (DC), outlining the conditions of the approval.

Poor Communication and Service
Some customers have expressed frustration with the company's lack of communication and responsiveness. They have mentioned trying to schedule appointments, but being met with vague replies and needing to follow up frequently. This has led to a negative experience for some users.
Biased Treatment
Another criticism is that the company appears to favor certain customers, such as builders, over others, like neighbors or owners. This has led some to read between the lines and draw their own conclusions.
Positive Experiences
However, some customers have had a more favorable experience with the company. They have praised the team for being professional, helpful, and willing to accommodate inspections with short notice. They have also commended the staff for their high communication flow, accuracy, and prompt responses.
Unprofessional Conduct
Unfortunately, some customers have accused the company of being condoning of substandard building practices. They have expressed disappointment and frustration with the certification process, which they believe is not stringent enough.
