The first real milestone - Construction Certificate

So after finding out that I have to provide engineered drawings for all structures prior to a construction certificate being issued, a trip to the engineer was in order.

Last time I went through this it was acceptable to quote compliance with standards, but that would require the certifying authority to know and understand the application of the standard.

So another $2500 disappears from the balance sheet.

We have received the construction certificate to allow the shed/studio slab to be completed, and the construction certificate for the remainder of the shed will be issued once engineered drawings are provided by the shed supplier.

Profiles have been put in place, and the site has been fenced to stop unauthorised access.  Apparently it is my responsibility if some dickhead goes poking around and impales himself on a star picket.
