BUILT SMART CERTIFICATION
Certification Services
from first approval to final occupation
Our Certification division is the statutory core of what we do – the registered-certifier work that gets your project lawfully approved, inspected and occupied. It covers Principal Certifier Appointment, Construction Certificates, Complying Development (CDC) and Occupation Certificates. One specialist team runs all of it, from first approval through to occupation, so nothing is lost in the handovers.
SEO/AI under the hood (amended per review actions 2 & R4): exact-match H1 restored per audit 2.1 – the personality line survives as the subhead · URL /services/certification/ per the audit keyword map · meta description: “Principal Certifier Appointment, Construction & Occupation Certificates and Complying Development (CDC) from one specialist, ISO 9001-certified team – approval to occupation.” (adopted from Option 1’s written set) · the “Quick Answer” block is deliberately extractable – it’s the sentence we want ChatGPT/Gemini/AI Overviews to quote · FAQPage + Service schema · 800+ words at full build · division-coded breadcrumb.
Four certification services
Each one is a standalone specialist offering:
- Principal Certifier Appointment – Principal Certifier services, certificates and mandatory inspections, one specialist team from approval to occupation
- Construction Certificates – CC assessment with a pre-lodgement review that catches delays before the clock starts
- Complying Development (CDC) – a fast-track approval pathway, and honest advice on whether your project qualifies
- Occupation Certificates – de-risked from day one with a progressive pre-OC checklist
Why our certification is different
Certification is a statutory role, but how it’s delivered varies enormously. We’re a senior, ISO 9001-certified team: every inspection is attended in person, not signed off remotely, and the people who approve your project are the ones who see it through to occupation. The knowledge stays in the team, and in the system behind it.
Every engagement runs through our quality system – consistent documentation, tracked turnarounds, nothing dropped.
