BCA reports · Class 1a secondary dwelling

BCA report for a granny flat or secondary dwelling

A secondary dwelling is a Class 1a building in its own right. Attached, it needs a separating wall to the main house; detached, it needs its own boundary and building-to-building separation. Complying development in NSW leans heavily on the BCA being right at lodgement.

Questions

Does a granny flat need a BCA report for a CDC?

The certifier assesses NCC compliance before issuing the CDC. A report from the drawings resolves the questions before they become requests for information.

What drawings do you need?

Site plan, floor plans, elevations and sections as PDF. For alterations, as-built drawings of the existing building as well.

Do you inspect the site?

No. The report is prepared from the drawings, which is what makes the fee fixed and the delivery 72 hours.
