A building certifier is the ultimate checklist checker. They go through and ensure that the plans comply with the Queensland Development Code (QDC), specific council requirements etc. This includes verifying that buildings are structurally sound, safe from fire, protected against pests, and meet energy and water efficiency standards. Then at the end of the build, they will come back and confirm that the builder built as per the plans.      

While private building certifiers issue most building approvals, Brisbane City Council also offers these services. Certifiers must lodge building work documentation with the Council and conduct technical inspections throughout the building process.

More information about the building approval or certification process is available on the BCC website at this link.
