Projects & sectors

The building type shapes the pathway.

Each residential form carries its own eligibility tests, documentation and risks. We certify across the sectors NSW builders and developers work in most, and confirm the pathway before any commitment.

The residential sectors we certify

Residential Homes

New single dwellings, commonly certified as complying development under the Housing Code, or by DA and Construction Certificate.

Duplex & Dual Occupancy

Two dwellings on one lot, often complying development where minimum lot size and the relevant standards are met.

Townhouses & Terraces

Terraces, manor houses and multi-dwelling housing, with a mix of complying-development and DA pathways, with class-driven obligations.

Renovations & Additions

Alterations and additions, frequently exempt or complying development, depending on the extent of work and the site.

Small Lot Development

Higher-yield low-rise housing on compact lots, assessed under the evolving low and mid-rise housing reforms.

Swimming Pools

New pools and their barriers, commonly complying development, with barrier compliance to the Swimming Pools Act 1992.

Secondary Dwellings

Granny flats: self-contained second dwellings, commonly complying development under the Housing SEPP.

Demolition

Demolition of residential buildings, commonly complying development, carried out to AS 2601.
