Yes, the CDC is instead of a DA and Construction Certificate. The ceritifier will approve the plans and then check various stages of the build to ensure it complies. They will also issue the Occupation Certificate at the end (we're still waiting). They are employed by Coral though so whether or not you want your own inspector is up to you. CDC seems to be much faster than a DA Follow my Coral Daydream 28 build: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72384 Re: Our Daydream 30 Build - Camden NSW 10Nov 05, 2015 11:34 am Thank you. That all makes sense. I think we will hire a private inspector as certifier is paid by Coral so they would be very biased and go through the CDC process instead of a DA. Hope your OC comes though soon, are you allowed to live in the house before you receive the certificate?

The soil test reports came back in Dec and our information was send away for a tender letter. The tender letter is expected to be back 15th Feb. We made some more changes to the design and hopefully they are all good to go. I redesign the house again and moved the laundry and kitchen. I will post a pic of my rough drawings. The sales guy at Coral said that due to the roof span being at its maximum capacity already my changes may not be able to work in this design. I told him to tell who ever to work their magic and make it happen. Nothing is impossible, right?!! Haha. Anyways the tender date is fast approaching, wonder if we will have it in our hot little hands on the 15th. I'm shocked at how slow this whole process is. We haven't even gotten to the actual fun part of seeing the house go up and I'm over it already! Fun times Re: Our Daydream 30 Build - Camden NSW 13Mar 25, 2016 8:52 pm Hi! Posting to follow your build. We are building the daydream 28. We start on Tuesday. It is quite slow getting through head office. I too was over it big time and I was no longer excited. Hang in there, it will be worth it.
