Final certificates slow down completion

What trips up building certifiers before the owner gets the paperwork.

  • Same certifier details every job

    Name, licence, company, and postal address should carry over when you issue the next final inspection certificate.

  • Stage dates buried in a flat PDF

    Foundation, slab, frame, and final inspection dates are easy to miss on a phone PDF viewer.

  • Owners and councils expect the PDF in order

    Generic PDF editors do not match the Building Act 1975 Form 21 field order.
