East Coast Building Consultants are accredited certifiers who issue Construction Certificates (CCs) and Complying Development Certificates (CDCs) under Part 4 and 4A of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979. Using a private certifier instead of going through council typically reduces approval time from 6–12 weeks down to 2–4 weeks, saving you thousands in holding costs.
Our certifiers carry out inspections at every critical stage of construction — from footings and slab through to frame, wet areas, and final occupation — ensuring your build complies with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and relevant Australian Standards.

East Coast Building Consultants is a team of A3 accredited certifiers and building inspectors based in Byron Bay and Lismore. Since 2004, we've helped homeowners, builders, and developers across Northern NSW navigate the certification process — from initial Construction Certificates through to final Occupation Certificates.
Whether you're buying, selling, renovating, or starting a new build in the Ballina, Byron Bay, Lismore, Murwillumbah, or Tweed areas, our local knowledge of council Development Control Plans (DCPs) and Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) means fewer delays and more accurate submissions. We're available outside standard office hours for inspections and meetings.
