To begin the certification process, you’ll need your architectural plans, site plan, BASIX certificate (if required), property title, and any other supporting documentation relevant to your development. During your initial consultation, we’ll guide you through exactly what’s required based on your project type.

Timelines can vary based on the complexity of your project and the quality of submitted documents. For straightforward projects, a CDC can often be approved within 10 business days. Construction Certificates and Occupation Certificates may take longer depending on inspections and compliance checks. We always strive for the quickest possible turnaround.

Yes, Zephyr Approvals is fully licensed to act as the Principal Certifier. We manage mandatory construction inspections at key stages and issue your final Occupation Certificate upon successful completion. Our team ensures your development complies with all relevant building regulations throughout the process.

If your development doesn’t meet specific criteria for CDC or CC approval, we’ll advise you on the next best steps. This may include modifying plans, obtaining additional reports, or exploring alternate approval pathways such as a DA. We’re here to help you navigate challenges and stay on track.
