Firstly, What Is A Construction Certificate (CC)?
The Final Hurdle Before Beginning Construction On Your New Home
Before commencing construction, you must first obtain a construction certificate from your local council or a private certifier. Obtaining a CC is required after receiving approval for your Development Application (DA). Receiving a CC approval confirms that your custom-built home designs align with regulations set by the Building Code Of Australia (BCA).
Who can issue a CC?
Issue by local council or a private certifier
You may acquire your CC by applying through your local council or an accredited certifier. This is where TENNA can help. The team collaborates with a variety of local councils and private certifiers.
Local council or a private certifier?
There are some differences
A local council is typically the same as obtaining a CC through an Accredited Certifier. There are, however, some key distinctions. If you opt for an Accredited Certifier, they can assist you in fulfilling all of the necessary criteria and plans for your CC. Some certifiers are more flexible with established standards, submission requirements and typically respond faster than council representatives.

I have been working with Annie for 3 years on developing the renovation plans for my property in Bondi Junction. Annie is patient, dedicated, and driven to create exactly what you have imagined so that image can be brought to life. There were times where I was indecisive and changed my mind about a feature only to change it back and I always felt comfortable speaking with Annie about these changes. She has excellent suggestions and an understanding of fine detail that has helped to enhance the design of my property. She is very thorough in detailing on the layout of the plans, which reassures me that my contractors will have a clear understanding throughout the duration of the project

Tenna Homes was able to visualise our small home and come up with a design that gave us all the space we required while satisfying council’s concerns and requirements. An extension to line the ground floor to the first floor was suggested to satisfy all our requirements while still maintaining the integrity of the steel-framed structure. This suggestion added to the visual appeal of the entire house which we are very pleased with. We would recommend Tenna to anyone doing renovations as we had a hassle-free and rewarding experience

TENNA HOMES is highly professional with a no-fuss attitude. The process was easy and the staff was also very understanding. We went back and forth with the drawings until I was satisfied with the plans. Highly recommended.
