Building certification and construction advisory for Sydney and regional NSW. recognised industry specialists, fixed fees, straight answers.
Intent-first hero: the H1 mirrors the two jobs visitors arrive with, and the two gates below route them by intent – the two-division IA (Certification / Consultancy) required by the rebuild doc, expressed as UX rather than just navigation. Imagery (Packet G, 13 Jul): the technical elevation drawing was the signature brand asset pre-Packet-G (inline SVG, ~2 KB, zero CWV cost) – superseded per Tim’s G2 instruction, now a large-format logo mark (base64 PNG, ~100 KB, optimised/cropped). LCP remains the headline text node; keep this asset lazy/optimised in the production build so the original CWV rationale still holds. Below the fold, production features authentic team photos prominently plus real project photography – all lazy-loaded WebP.
Rev 4 (user testing #2): gate tags kept for UX/SEO but restyled as defined coloured pills per category, and acronyms spelled out (Complying Development, Construction Certificates, Occupation Certificates). 2×2 on desktop, mini-tiles below 640px. Advantage carries the gold tier accent.

Find Your Pathway
Pick the option closest to your situation and we’ll point you at the right service and the right first step.
This is the “modern feature that earns its place”: a two-tap triage that converts confused visitors (most first-timers don’t know a CC from a CDC) instead of losing them. Buildable as a simple embed on either platform. It also captures intent data via GA4 events.
What best describes your situation?
One tap, straight to the right place.
How engagement works
From enquiry to certificate
No mystery, no open-ended hourly billing. This is the process, every time.
Rev 4 (user testing #5, #10): step 01 is now a live link opening the enquiry form. Copy leads with the web form (easier for us to handle) with phone as backup, and the response-time SLA is replaced with “fast”.

Insights
Regulation, decoded
Rev 4 (user testing #13): insights promoted up the page, above the projects strip and the trimmed services list, so fresh content isn’t buried beneath three variations of the service offering. New order: hero+gates → stats → finder → process → proof → insights → projects → top-6 services → newsletter → CTA.
Recent projects
Work we’ve certified & kept compliant
Review G6 (imagery): illustrated stand-ins in the brand’s drawing language; production replaces these with real project photography – half-day shoot, lazy-loaded WebP, below the fold so CWV is unaffected. Real photos of real projects are themselves an E-E-A-T signal, and feed GBP + LinkedIn too.
