I had a great experience with rocket building. They were caring and supportive throughout the entire certification process. From start to finish, they provided clear direction and made everything easy to use understands. What stood out most was how approachable they were- anytime I had a question they got back to me promptly. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and professional building certification services

I hate dealing with council at the best of times and having Rocket Building Approvals do all the back and forth whilst I got on with my life was worth every single dollar I paid. My point man was Josh, couldn’t recommend him enough for the communication, he also explained the process in terms I could understand and his advice in getting my approval’s through was spot on. Absolutely recommend.

I have using the team at Rocket BA for over 2 years now. All team members have been helpful with any questions that I have in regards to building certification. The process of obtaining certification can seem daunting, Rocket BA have been fantastic, explaining the process throughout. Rocket BA are very efficient and all emails are actioned quickly. I would certainly recommend Rocket BA.

I’ve recently had the pleasure of working with Jared from Rocket Building Approvals for a residential project and was impressed by his expertise and professionalism. He’s highly knowledgeable, efficient, and communicates clearly throughout the process. Jared takes a practical approach to problem-solving and consistently delivers timely, reliable service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy and experienced building certifier.

Lin B.
We worked with Josh at Rocket Building Approvals to get our pergola certified. Due to council requirements the process was far more difficult than we had originally anticipated. We also needed to get the certification quickly. None of this was a problem for Josh, who got the job done start to finish at lightening speed. Throughout the process he was available, responsive and most of all very considerate of the stress the whole process had on us. This is the second time we have used Rocket and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Josh and the team to anyone needed these services. Thanks Josh!

Ask Us Anything

When do I need a building approval?

A building approval is generally required when the scope of works are more than the below:

A garden shed up to 2.4 metres high (2.1 metres mean height), 10m², 5.0 metres long and not located in the front or waterfront setback areas,
A fence not more than 2.0 metres high.
- Swimming pool fencing needs approval for new work regardless of the height
- Waterfront areas and corner lots also have special rules,
A one metre high retaining wall (if no loads are imposed above it, such as a building or driveway),
Deck up to 1.0 metre high and 10m² when not located in any required setback area.
Roofed patio up to 2.4 metres high (2.1 metres mean height), 10m², 5.0 metres long when not located in any required setback area.

What happens if I start building without a permit?

Starting building works without the relevant approvals is illegal and not advised as normally the repercussions of doing so can severely impact the homeowner not only financially but if the works do not comply with Council requirements the works may have to be removed.

How quickly can you provide a Building Approval?

RBA can generally turn around approvals as per below:

24hr- Demolitions

2-3 Days sheds, pools, patio’s etc.

3-7 Days new homes and renovations

We do also have a fast track service which guarantees 48 hour turnaround on all projects.

What areas do you service?
