Q: Can you help with commercial fitouts?

Yes. PROCERT can help review documentation, advise on compliance requirements and support certification steps for commercial fitouts and refurbishments.

Q: Do you prepare Development Applications (DA) as a service?

No — PROCERT does not provide DA preparation services. PROCERT focuses on certification and approval services such as CDC, CC, Principal Certifier services and Occupation Certificates.

Commercial projects often involve more complex compliance pathways, documentation requirements, and coordination across multiple stakeholders. PROCERT supports commercial approvals and certification services by assessing documentation, advising on compliance requirements, coordinating inspections where applicable, and assisting with certification outcomes across a wide range of building types and uses.
