Consumer Building Guide NSW- PCA?
A Principal Certifying Authority (PCA) is the only person or body that can issue an occupation
certificate. [19/10/21 currently called Principal Certifier]
A PCA must be appointed before any building work can begin. A PCA can only be appointed
by the person who benefits from the development (usually the owner); the builder cannot
Appoint the PCA unless they are also the landowner. Your PCA can be either a private
or council-accredited certifier.
The council must be notified of the appointment of a PCA at least 2 days before the building
work commences.
Your PCA must inform you about the inspections required to be undertaken at certain stages
During construction and you must inform your builder of these inspections. In turn, your builder
Must contact the PCA for the inspections to be carried out as construction occurs.
If the required inspections are not undertaken, your PCA may not be able to issue an occupation
certificate. Your PCA should advise you and the builder of any problems identified at an inspection.
The PCA inspects whether the building work complies with the relevant planning legislation,
the development consent and the BCA. Your PCA is not responsible for supervising your builder
or tradespeople or for ensuring the quality and finish of the building work.
Your PCA is also not responsible for ensuring that your work complies with the conditions of
consent. You should read the conditions of consent carefully, note which conditions must be
complied with at different stages, and liaise regularly with your builder and PCA to ensure
conditions are satisfied.
The Building Professionals Board (BPB) is responsible for accrediting qualified professionals as
private and council-accredited certifiers. You can find an accredited certifier in your NSW area under the
‘find a certifier’ link on the BPB website at www.bpb.nsw.gov.au
Choose a PCA in the same way you would choose an architect, draftsperson or builder:
• seek recommendations from others
• obtain quotes from the council and a selection of accredited certifiers
• check references from certifying authorities
• check inclusions in any contract or service level agreement before entering into it.
Applying for a construction certificate or a CDC is not the same as appointing a PCA.
However, you may choose to appoint the accredited certifier or council who issues your construction
certificate or CDC as your PCA.

Hello this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know
if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I
wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey very nice blog!
