If you are the process of investing in a steel building, then you will need to contact the Gosford City Council to found out what permits you will need to apply for. In most cases, you will need to complete a development application and a construction certificate.
Construction Certificate Explained
A construction certificate basically certifies that all matters relating the construction of your new steel building is compliant with the with the latest regulations, such as:
It is important to note Construction Certificates must be approved before any manual labour is started on the site; this includes site preparation and excavation.
Applying for a Construction Certificate
In most cases, you would apply for your construction certificate when you submit your development application. However, if your steel shed is quite complex it may need to go back to the drawing board. It might be advisable to apply for your construction certificate once you have submitted and received feedback about your development application.
Requirements for Owner Builders
If you intend on erecting your own residential steel shed in the Gosford area, and the value of the shed is over $5,000, then you will need to apply for a building permit form the Department of Fair Trading. You must supply this certificate when you put in your application for construction certificate.
