Compliance assessment for all types of approvals. Upload the drawings and supporting documents, and the plans are checked clause by clause against the legislation itself — it picks up the changes needed for the plans to comply, identifies missing documents, and sets out what's needed to resolve each item.
Upload your drawings, then all the other documents — 10.7, title, DP, whatever you've got.
Every clause of the applicable code is assessed against your plans — along with title and 88B obligations, live planning-map constraints and council flood studies. Where the plans don't comply, the report recommends what's needed to make them comply.
A plain-English summary, full clause tables, and a red list of what's missing or must be fixed — with the code text quoted in full.
Not a summary — a working document you can assess from, with every claim carrying its source and page.
From the general requirements through to the applicable code — quoted from the current legislation, never from summary tables.
What the code requires beside what the drawings show, with the sheet reference — setbacks, height, floor area, landscaping, parking, all of it.
Covenants, support easements, developer approval preconditions — read in full, burden lists checked lot by lot.
The state planning maps checked for the exact parcel — bushfire, acid sulfate, flooding, mine subsidence, biodiversity, airport height limits — with the detail, not just yes/no.
Checked against the certificate — including studies the 10.7 hasn't caught up with yet.
A red list of what must be provided or fixed, an amber list of items to confirm, and a clear indication — permissible, permissible subject to documents, or not permissible as drawn, with reasons.
On one recent sample job the report caught five development-standard failures before lodgement — including a 120 mm setback shortfall and a garage door that can't comply on that lot width. Read exactly that report — fictionalised, findings untouched — via the sample link above.
Quick and thorough — an assessment that would take hours by hand is back in minutes, saving an assessor or certifier around 75% of their time.
Every clause is quoted from the current compilation in force in your state, with its currency date stated. Summary tables drift — in our own work we've found published guidance contradicting the legislation on two development standards. The legislation is the only basis we use.
Every finding names its source — document, sheet, page, clause — so you can verify any row of the report in seconds without taking our word for anything.
Missing evidence is never treated as compliance. No 10.7, no engineering, no utility search — it goes on the red list in plain words instead of disappearing.
We check the state planning maps for the parcel and research council flood studies — which has already surfaced a finalised shire-wide flood study on land whose 10.7 still says flood status is unknown.
The report is built from the drawings — the figures on the plans checked against the figures in the legislation, sheet by sheet, standard by standard. As far as we know, CertAssist is Australia's first software to actually read the plans and check them against the legislation — most tools only check a zoning database. That's the point of difference.
Reports are back fast — send the pack on a live job and judge the result against your own review.
Every CDC you assess by hand costs hours of senior time — at a senior rate of $200 an hour, that's $600+ of margin burned per job before you've even found the setback that doesn't comply.
You're not buying reports. You're buying back the hours you currently spend cross-referencing drawings against the legislation — every finding cross-referenced against the clause, so checking our work takes seconds, not hours.
