i need a building information certificate (bic)

A Building Information Certificate (BIC) provides official confirmation of the existing status of a building or structure. Unlike approvals for new construction, a BIC assesses completed works to verify compliance with planning controls, development approvals, and building regulations. This certificate is essential when buying, selling, refinancing, or resolving legal or insurance matters related to a property.
