Building Certification
Established, Experienced, Trusted
Established in July 1998, Bartley Burns Certifiers were among the first private certification firms in Queensland following the introduction of privatisation. Since then, we have built a reputation for dependable, technically sound and customer-focused certification services.
A Stable, Experienced Team
Our team is made up of long-standing staff with deep industry experience. Because our people stay, our clients benefit from consistent contacts who know their projects, understand their risk profile and provide personalised, practical compliance advice — not just paperwork.
End-to-End Involvement
Our Building Certification team works closely with clients from concept through to completion. We can engage with your design team early to provide NCC/BCA advice, support the preparation and issue of the Building Approval, and remain involved during construction to deliver ongoing guidance and mandatory inspections to ensure compliance is achieved.
Where a proposal triggers referral or concurrence applications, we can assist in identifying these triggers and coordinating the required applications to the relevant authorities as part of the approval pathway.
Client Relationships Built on Service
A significant portion of our work comes from long-standing repeat clients — a direct reflection of our focus on relationships, responsiveness and professional delivery. We understand that timely, accurate service is critical to keeping projects moving and compliant.
Internal and External Referrals
A strength of our Building Certification team is our ability to work collaboratively with other professionals to help streamline the approval process for our clients.
Internally, our Building Certifiers work closely with our Town Planning team and our sister company, Performance Solutions Queensland, allowing us to identify planning or performance solution requirements early and refer clients directly to the appropriate team where required.
We also work alongside a broad network of experienced external consultants, including engineers, building designers, architects and other specialist professionals. Where additional advice or documentation is required, we can assist in identifying the appropriate consultant to help progress your project.
This collaborative approach allows us to provide practical guidance and help our clients navigate the building approval process as efficiently as possible.
