Buildings
Building regulation and certification are important parts of the planning system in New South Wales.
Building certification
Building certifiers are needed to help support the development of 900,000 new homes in NSW over the next 20 years as our population grows.
Qualifying as a certifier
The qualification you need depends on the type of work you want to do. Qualifications are available in NSW from TAFE NSW, CPD Training Pty Ltd and universities.
Recognition of prior learning or experience
What if I’m considering a career change or am already in the industry and want to become a certifier?
What a certifier does
Building certifiers get to work on a variety of constructions from home renovations to high rises and commercial or industrial buildings.
Combustible cladding
New laws have been made for buildings with combustible cladding following the tragic Grenfell Tower, London and Lacrosse Building, Melbourne fires.
Exempt development for cladding
The Grenfell fire in London in June 2017 highlighted a significant fire safety risk for buildings that use combustible materials on external walls and roofs.
Fire safety in buildings
The department supports many aspects of building and fire safety including the strengthening of fire safety certification for buildings.
Fire safety certification
A fire safety certificate is a document issued by or on behalf of the building owner(s) upon the completion of new building work.
