The QRBS certification process
How do I get existing building work certified?
Retrospective certification can require plans, technical evidence, inspections, rectification and assessment by a private certifier. QRBS organises the owner-side process so the right information reaches each professional in a practical sequence.
Request an Initial Free Property Review →Records and fact finding
We compare what exists at the property with available council records, old approvals and the owner’s information.
As-constructed documentation
Where needed, a draftsperson measures the existing work and prepares accurate plans. A survey or other site evidence may also be required.
Planning and technical assessment
Depending on the property, the pathway can require town planning, engineering, fire, energy, plumbing, wastewater, pool or other specialist input.
Private certification
The private certifier assesses the building application and may request further information. The certifier remains responsible for its statutory decisions.
Rectification and evidence
Existing work may need changes, inspections or certificates before the approval or finalisation pathway can progress.
Council records and finalisation
Relevant approved and final documents are lodged or recorded through the applicable process. Council generally keeps the property records.
What can affect certification?
The property location, applicable planning rules, age and condition of the work, accuracy of available records, construction evidence, required rectification and decisions of the private certifier, third-party professionals and authorities. QRBS does not guarantee that building work will be certified or promise a certification timeframe.
