EDC report NSW: questions

What is an Estimated Development Cost report?
The cost estimate a NSW council asks for with a development application. ClearCost issues it in the Standard Form under s 6 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Regulation 2021 (NSW) and Planning Circular PS 25-004, prepared under the AIQS Practice Standard for Construction Cost Assessments (2nd Ed).
Will my council accept it?
It comes as the two parts councils expect: Part 1 for the consent authority and Part 2 as the detailed calculation schedule, issued under the certification of an AIQS Certified Quantity Surveyor (No. 9497) with a certification and signature block.
What do I upload?
Your architectural plans as a PDF. No account is needed.
How long does it take?
Usually 3 to 6 minutes. You stay on the page while it runs, and you can ask for a link to the preview by email.
What does it cost?
$895 including GST, paid only after you have seen the free preview of the costs.
Can I see one first?
Yes. A full sample EDC report is on the sample reports page.
