When lodging a Development Application (DA) via the NSW Planning Portal or directly with Council, most NSW local councils require Registered Quantity Surveyor’s Cost Summary Reports or Estimated Development Cost Reports (EDC) to be included. This also applies to Complying Development Certificates (CDC) and Construction Certificates (CC).
These reports are used by councils to determine the project’s value, which is necessary for calculating development fees and contributions.
As certified and registered Quantity Surveyors with the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS), we are qualified to prepare compliant cost reports in line with your council’s required format and guidelines.
