Pre & Post Demolition: General and Critical Checks

A builder conducting demolitions while using protective equipment.

Inspections by the Accredited (aka Principal) Certifying Authority during construction are mandatory and ensure that what is built will meet required standards and is consistent with what has been approved.

To arrange these inspections, you’ll need to make a building Inspection Reservation. The Accredited (aka Principal) Certifying Authority will conduct an inspection of each required stage of construction and issue an Occupation Certificate (for any building work) when all the pre-conditions specified in the Development Consent have been met and the building is suitable for occupation or use in accordance with its classification under the Building Code of Australia.

The mandatory inspections required with your job can be referenced in the schedule attached to your Construction Certificate or Complying Development Certificate.

We provide a complete inspection, certification and Occupation Certificate package for all development types.

  • building inspections before a construction certificate or complying development certificate is issued
  • foundation after excavation and before footings are placed
  • steel reinforcement in footings/slabs
  • framework
  • wet area waterproofing (bathrooms and laundries)
  • stormwater drainage connection
  • swimming pool barrier fencing
  • fire-protecting construction in buildings where people sleep, including sole-occupancy units in residential-type buildings and health care/aged care buildings.
  • completed works (final inspection) to verify that the building is suitable for occupation.
