Doing the work

Before building starts, you may need approvals. During construction, key stages must be certified to ensure safety and compliance. A building certifier checks the work meets approved plans and issues final approval once it’s complete.

Once building starts on a contract valued at $20,000 or more, your builder must provide a commencement notice with the start and expected finish dates. Regular site inspections and clear communication will help keep the project on track and up to standard.

Learn five practical tips to help you stay informed and organised during construction, ensuring your project runs smoothly and avoids costly mistakes.
