Hi I would like to know what’s the going rate for a business to help us attain an Occupation certificate after a second storey addition?
Thanks in advance

    Our builder wanted to charge $450+gst. It's literally just filling in a 2 page PDF and organising the certification reports (which the builder should give you). DIY for sure

      Didn’t know I could do it my self.

        Absolutely. If you used a private certifier then you need to apply/send the form to them. Ask them for the form and what's required.

        If you are being certified through council then ask council for the form and what you need.

    Ask the builder who did the addition?

    • Mahalo on 19/10/2021 - 23:26

      They don’t do it.

    First of all, do you even have a Construction Certificate? If you don't, then you dont need an Occupation Certificate.

      I was told by builder I need it. This is for an addition.

      • Serathis on 20/10/2021 - 21:46

        You dont get an Occupation Certificate without a Construction Certificate.

        • Mahalo on 20/10/2021 - 21:54

          Then I must have one. The builder likely took care of that for us.

            @Mahalo: If your builder has it, then your builder should be preparing the Occupation Certificate for you however that is not common practice.

            Did you have a DA or CDC approved by Council for this second storey addition?

            • Mahalo on 20/10/2021 - 23:48

              @Serathis: DA

                @Mahalo: Mate, you need a Certifier then lol

                Only a Certifier / Council Building Surveyor can issue a Construction Certificate for a DA.

    When I did renos my certifier applied for the occupation certificate. I had to provide documents such as waterproofing, termite treatment, construction certificate.

    Here is a general link from NSW govt, but you should check directly with your council for more information.
