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.

After a building inspector recommend a structural engineer to get a more accurate assessment on the possible cost of under pinning. Adam did a structural inspection before we made an offer on the house. He found more issues and possible causes and importantly gave a more accurate idea of repair costs and repair time, which were more than originally suspected. Now we know what to expect we can accurately negotiate a price knowing what will have to be done in the future. He answered all of our many questions. Would definitely recommend him.
