How Much Does a Building Information Certificate Cost?

Cost is understandably one of the first things people want to know, and we believe in being upfront about it. The honest answer is that the total cost of a Building Information Certificate depends on the structure and what’s involved in supporting the application, but we can walk you through how it breaks down.

There are generally a few components that make up the overall cost.

The first is the council’s own fee for assessing and issuing the certificate. This is set by the council and is paid as part of lodging the application.

The second is any supporting documentation the application requires. Depending on the structure, this might include plans or reports from relevant consultants. These are charged by the consultants who prepare them and are passed through to you separately. Simpler structures need less of this; more involved structures may need more.

The third is our professional fee for assessing your situation, preparing the application, coordinating any consultants, and managing the whole process through to the certificate being issued.

Because the supporting documentation varies so much from one structure to the next, there isn’t a single flat figure that fits every job. What we can do is look at your specific structure, tell you exactly what it’s likely to require, and give you a clear quote so you know where you stand before committing to anything.

If you’d like a quote tailored to your property, just get in touch with the details of your structure and we’ll take it from there.
