PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE

Building Certifiers in Queensland are required under the Building Act 1975 to have a certain level of coverage via Professional Indemnity Insurance. This allow a Certifier to be endorsed by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) to act as a Private Building Certifier, issuing approval for building works. Without PI Insurance, a Private Building Certifier can not issue Development approvals for Building Work. Effectively, building work has the potential to slow and stop as Certifiers are restricted from trading.

PRE-INSTALLATION POOL FENCE INSPECTION

Pool fencing can be bit tricky to get right. So to help ensure that the fence is compliant at final inspection stage, it’s great to have a discussion about what is needed before it gets ordered and installed. Today, we checked out the pool at a Coorparoo development we are providing private certification for. The project consists of a new multi storey residential dwelling with significant retaining walls to the rear of the property which work the levels of the site so as optimised use of the available spaces.
