Building Warrant Fees Guidance

A warrant fee is discounted where certificate(s) from approved certifiers of design are presented with a warrant application, or before the building warrant is granted as below.

The fee is subject to discounts when:

1. certificate(s) provided by approved certifiers of design are submitted with the warrant application; and/or
2. a verifier is informed, at the warrant application stage, of the intention to use certifiers of design before the building warrant is granted; and/or
3. a verifier has been informed, at the warrant application stage, of the intention to use certifiers of construction as part of the completion certificate that is to be submitted. The appropriate discount should be deducted from the fee before submitting the application for building warrant. The notification to a verifier that an approved certifier of design or construction is to be used must be given at the application stage.
