A Certificate of Compliance is a document that is regulated by the Victorian Building Authority and is referred to as "Regulation 126: Certificate of Compliance – Design".
The Victorian Building Authority administers Victoria’s building legislation system. The document is a statement made by the engineer to the Building Surveyor that all structural design works have been carried out in accordance with the Building Act 1993, the Building Regulations 2006, the Building Code of Australia and the relevant Australian Standards.
In order to complete your Building Permit application, your Building Surveyor may request a Certificate of Compliance from an engineer pertaining to your proposed development. This document gives you and your Building Surveyor confidence that all design work has been completed by us to the required standards as set by the Victorian Building Authority At Melbourne Civil & Structural Engineers, we have qualified, experienced and licensed Engineers to check the design independently and provide a Certificate of Compliance.

The Engineer arrived on time and immediately set to work. He rapidly diagnosed the cause of the cracking which was not the cause that we had led to believe. He made several recommendations, all of which were very clear and precise (and inexpensive). He then proceeded to carry out an inspection of the rest of the house and advise us that all was well. His fee was one of the best investments that we have ever made as it avoided us undertaking expensive (and unnecessary) unpinning. All in all, ours was a very satisfactory experience of MCSE expertise and service.
