An occupation certificate is a certificate that authorises:

• the occupation and use of a new building, including an addition to a building, or
• a change of building use for an existing building.

Prior to occupation or use of any building an occupation certificate must be issued by the Principal Certifying Authority.

An Occupation Certificate may be either a final occupation Certificate or an Interim Occupation certificate. An interim Certificate may be issued in certain circumstances where occupation is proposed before all approved works are completed.

Our fees for an application for an occupation certificates are very competitive. In the case of current development our fee for an occupation certificate is included in our PCA/inspection fees.
