Building certification case studies
These examples explain the types of certification and approval problems QRBS works with. Details are generalised for privacy and do not promise the same outcome for another property.
The owner discovered an old approval in the records but no final certificate. The original history and inspection evidence were incomplete.
The pathway required retrieving approval documents, mapping missing evidence and coordinating the appropriate certification and inspection steps.
Council records did not reflect the current layout and the new owner had little reliable information about when the work was completed.
The first steps were a focused document review, accurate as-constructed plans and identification of the structural and certification evidence likely to be needed.
The owner needed to understand which items might be exempt, which required approval and what information council was requesting.
The structures were separated into individual issues, records and photographs were reviewed, and a staged consultant and approval strategy was developed.
The seller believed the property records were in order, but the buyer requested final certification for a patio, conversion and ancillary structure. The owner was worried the sale and settlement might not proceed.
The request was separated into the individual structures and records, then the missing certification evidence and likely consultant inputs were prioritised.
