Question 1
Question 1a)
For the construction of the 2-storey dwelling, outline the approval process and the certificates
required from application for approval of construction to occupation of the building. Briefly explain
the different types of building approval that apply in your state (eg in NSW; exempt, complying,
integrated, local). Clearly nominate which type of approval this development would fall under in
your state.
The approval process and certificates required from application for approval of construction to
occupation for Project 1 in NSW can be completed in two different ways, Development Application or
Complying Development Certificate.
Option 1 – Development Application (DA)
The builder/ proprietor could choose to submit a Development Application (DA) through the local
council, in the case of Project 1 it would be through Penrith City Council.
The DA illustrates to the local council the intentions of the proposed dwelling. Once submitted,
council then assesses the lodged documents against the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and other
relevant state planning policies to see if the application complies.
Option 2 – Complying Development Certificate (CDC).
The builder/proprietor engage a private accredited certifier and obtain a CDC. This is an alternative
to the DA, however it is only available for work that is classed as complying development under
council’s planning controls or State planning policy. The proposed development must comply with
the relevant planning controls and building controls under the BCA. Once that has been decided, a
Principal Certifying Authority (PCA) is appointed by the proprietor as the builder cannot appoint one.
The PCA can be either an accredited certifier, local council, or the consent authority. Work cannot
commence before a PCA is appointed.
Once the DA/CDC has been approved, a Construction Certificate (CC) is issued. This certificate can be
issued through the local council or a private accredited certifier and confirms that the building plans
comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and is consistent with the approved DA/CDC.
The builder will also need to lodge a notice of commencement prior to any works commencing.
Throughout the course of the build, the builder will make arrangements with the PCA for inspections
to be carried out as certificates for completed work may not be issued if inspections are not carried
out. Occupation certificate is the last step. Before the building can be occupied.
Exempt development
Some minor building renovations or works don’t need any planning or building approval. This is
called exempt development. Exempt development is very low impact development. A few examples
of development that can be exempt development are: advertising and signage, balconies and decks,
garden sheds, carports, fences, repairing a window or painting a house. As long as the proposed
works meet all of the development standards approval may not be needed.

Complying development is a combined planning and construction approval for straightforward
development that can be determined through a fast-track assessment by a council or an accredited
certifier. Complying development applies to homes, businesses and industry and allows for a range of
things like the construction of a new dwelling house up to two storeys, alterations and additions to a
house, and changes to a business use. Providing the proposal meets specific criteria then it can be
reviewed and determined by Council or PCA without needing a full development application.
Integrated Development
Integrated Development is development that, in order for it to be carried out, requires development
consent and one or more approvals from a NSW State Government Agency. The aim of Integrated
Development is to promote a unified, whole of government approach to the assessment of
development in New South Wales.
Local Development
Local development is the most common type of development in NSW, with projects ranging from
home extensions to medium sized commercial, retail and industrial developments.
A development is considered local development if:
• a local environmental plan (LEP) or State environmental planning policy (SEPP) states that
development consent is required before the development can take place; and
• it is not considered to be either Regionally or State significant development.
Question 1b)
Explain the difference between the options of local government versus privately certified approvals
in your state or territory.
Private certifiers are independent of local government and take full responsibility for the work that
they certify. A Private Certifier is a building professional who can act as a Principal Certifying
Authority and is responsible for inspecting and approving the building work to ensure it is in
accordance with approved plans and state legislative requirements The private certifier will issue the
approval and see the project through to its outcome with no input from council. Private certifiers
tend to be a bit faster than council for getting approvals through if there aren’t any planning issues.
Private certifiers assist with all aspects of application. Private Certifiers will also ensure during the
Construction process and Occupation Certificate process that all components of the DA Conditions
and CDC Conditions are met prior to the issue of an Occupation Certificate. This is completed with
regular inspections.

Question
2
The photos shown below have been taken of buildings on the sites adjoining the proposed
development for Project 1.
Comment on the defects shown in the photos and how they could be impacted upon by your
building operation.
Based on the above photos some of the construction defects could have arisen as a result of
execution, others due to materials used and due to the aging and environmental conditions. Based
on this I can see the following issues
The brick work has a large gap between the bottom of the bricks and the concrete slab. The
defect may be due to column or slab settlement. As the column does not have direct contact
with the slab the transfers of load can cause a stability issue with the building. If this is not
rectified it could cause significant damage.
Cracks within the Brickwork and Concrete Slab. This is a result of a structural defect. The
construction activities happening could cause the crack to increase. Therefore during initial
assessment the cracks should be measured to determine if any measures are needed to be
undertaken prior to works commencement.
Cracks within the White render work and into the adjoining window frame. The defect may have
arisen due to water leaking from the roof. Vibrations from the construction suite may cause the
crack to increase into the window frame and could cause a collapse.

P a g e
Due to works commencing on the site it would be suggested to get a Dilapidation report prior to
starting any constructions works and a post Dilapidation report to review any changes to the above
defects. During the course of construction during excavation the vibrations within the ground could
cause the cracks to worsen. It would be advisable to get a structural engineer to review prior to
commencing work to confirm ground works will not cause further damage.

Question 3
For the house development detailed in Project 1, you are required to produce a construction
schedule in the following formats:
a)
a critical path analysis
b)
a Gantt chart (bar chart)
Your initial planning must include the following:
•
list of tasks
•
duration of each task
•
start and end dates
Define the critical path for the project and determine the shortest construction time in weeks.
Please see attached supporting documentation to answer above questions
