Building Surveying & Certification

Elite Compliance will certify and advise on how to certify your commercial and residential buildings.

What is building certification?

Building certification in Australia is a process that assesses the compliance of a new or existing building with the relevant Building Code of Australia (BCA). It involves an assessment of the design, construction and ongoing maintenance of the building to ensure it meets certain safety, structural and energy efficiency standards.

Who needs to get building certification?

Any person who owns, leases or occupies a building that is subject to the BCA must be certified. Certification is important because it provides evidence that a building has been constructed in accordance with the relevant standards and is safe for occupancy.

How do you get your building certified?

To obtain certification for your building, Elite Compliance will assess your building against the relevant standards and issue a certificate of compliance once the building meets all the required standards.

The benefits of having a certified building in Australia include peace of mind that the building is safe and compliant with relevant regulations and improved resale value.

What types of building certifications are there?

There are three different types of certification available in Australia:

1. Design Certification 

This is the process of assessing a new or existing building against the relevant Building Code of Australia (BCA) to ensure it meets certain safety, structural and energy efficiency standards prior to application for Building Permit.

2. Construction Certification

This is a document that confirms that a building has been constructed in accordance with the relevant standards and is safe for occupancy.

3. Retrospective Certification

This is a document that confirms that an illegally constructed building has been assessed and is deemed suitable for occupation and meets all the necessary safety requirements for its use and classification.
