A Certificate of Design Compliance (or otherwise known as a CDC or BA3) is the formal certification from a registered building surveyor declaring all drawings, specifications and technical documents for the proposed building or structure satisfies the applicable building standards.
The CDC is issued prior to submission of a BA1 – Application for Building Permit and is considered to therefore be a certified building application. A certified building application is to be submitted to the local government for all commercial (Class 2 – 9) buildings.
A CDC allows a building surveyor to input industry knowledge and experience at the design stage of the building process and expedites the submission through council saving time and money.
