At MSK Architects, we prepare Development Applications (DA), Construction Certificates (CC), and Complying Development Certificates (CDC), and guidance.
Securing statutory approval is a decisive step in every project. At MSK Architects, we prepare Development Applications (DA), Construction Certificates (CC), and Complying Development Certificates (CDC) with precision and clarity, guiding clients through whichever pathway is most appropriate for their project.
For projects requiring a DA, we coordinate and submit all documentation necessary for council assessment — including design drawings, planning reports, and consultant inputs — ensuring proposals are clearly justified against local planning controls. Once development consent is granted, we prepare the Construction Certificate (CC) documentation, which demonstrates compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA), relevant Australian Standards, and the conditions of consent.
For projects eligible for a CDC, we streamline the process by bypassing the DA stage. A CDC combines planning and construction approvals in one step, provided the proposal meets the criteria of the State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs) and other applicable codes. In this case, our role is to prepare a fully compliant package that allows certifiers to issue approval quickly and efficiently.
MSK Architects is also fully prepared for the requirements of the Design & Building Practitioners (DBP) Act. We are qualified and registered to deliver regulated designs for all building classes where DBP applies, including:
By combining BIM-enabled accuracy, strict quality assurance, and regulatory expertise, we ensure that our approval documentation is not only compliant but also legally robust under the NSW DBP framework.
With decades of experience preparing approval packages across residential, commercial, industrial, education, and community projects, MSK Architects delivers certainty and confidence at every stage of the approvals process.
