Certification Services
How do Accredited Certifiers work?
Accredited Certifiers, also known as private certifiers, are appointed by the property owner to ensure that all building work meets the requirements of the Building Code of Australia and the conditions of any approval documents The certifier is bound by their accreditation and code of conduct to make sure that the work complies with all of the BCA & approval requirements that apply to the building.
And Brentnall BCA?
Our job as Accredited Certifiers is to make sure the work is done right, but beyond that, as your certification partner, our reason for being is making sure that the process of getting your building approved is as seamless as possible.

3. Mandatory Inspections
With your Construction Certificate you will be provided with a list of inspections that must be carried out through the building works. As the Principal Certifying Authority for the works we carry out these inspections.
In addition to the mandatory inspections, we also carry out audit inspections to check on things like fire rating, sound insulation and services installation to help pick up issues that you will need to look for further down the track.
Whilst these inspections are not required they are part of the service that we offer to make sure that there is a minimum of fuss in completing the building work to all of the relevant requirements.
4. Occupation Certificates
Once your work is finished you will need an Occupation Certificate to confirm that it all complies with the Development Consent and Building Code of Australia. You are not able to legally use your building without an Occupation Certificate (it also applies to things like swimming pools, flagpoles, retaining walls and other structures)
