A3 accredited certifiers serving Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore, Tweed & Clarence Valley since 2004. Over 6,000 projects completed.
East Coast Building Consultants are accredited certifiers who issue Construction Certificates (CCs) and Complying Development Certificates (CDCs) under Part 4 and 4A of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979. Using a private certifier instead of going through council typically reduces approval time from 6–12 weeks down to 2–4 weeks, saving you thousands in holding costs.
Our certifiers carry out inspections at every critical stage of construction — from footings and slab through to frame, wet areas, and final occupation — ensuring your build complies with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and relevant Australian Standards. Read more →
A dilapidation report is a detailed record of a property’s existing condition, prepared before nearby construction, excavation, or demolition begins. East Coast Building Consultants inspect all areas — driveways, fences, footpaths, structural elements, and neighbouring buildings — and produce a comprehensive report with high-definition photography documenting every existing defect.
Dilapidation reports are essential for resolving potential disputes between property owners and builders. We provide reports across the Northern Rivers from Tweed Heads to Grafton, covering the council areas of Ballina, Byron, Tweed, Lismore, Richmond Valley, Kyogle, and Clarence Valley. Read more →
Under the NSW Swimming Pools Act 1992 and Swimming Pools Regulation 2018, all pool owners must register their pool and maintain a child-resistant barrier that complies with Australian Standard AS 1926.1-2012. A valid Pool Safety Certificate is required before you can sell or lease a property with a pool. Non-compliance carries penalties of up to $5,500 (50 penalty units), with on-the-spot fines starting at $550.
East Coast Building Consultants are accredited pool fence inspectors backed by $10 million in professional indemnity insurance. We inspect your barrier, identify any non-compliance issues, and either issue a Pool Safety Certificate or provide a detailed Notice of Non-Conformity with clear instructions for your fencer.
