Move from Building Completion to the Right Occupancy Process.
An Occupancy Certificate (OC) is issued by the competent authority where required under the applicable process. Understanding the relevant building records, completion-related information and application requirements is an important part of preparing for an OC application.
Premark Realty supports property owners, builders and project teams with OC-related documentation and process coordination, helping them understand what needs to be reviewed and coordinate the next steps within the agreed scope.
Detail
What is an Occupancy Certificate?
An Occupancy Certificate, commonly known as an OC, is a certificate issued by the competent authority where required to confirm the building’s occupancy-related compliance under the applicable rules and approval process. Whether an OC is required and what is needed to obtain it depends on the building category, its approvals, the applicable rules and the specific circumstances.
An OC is not the same as an initial building permission. The requirements for the two stages can differ. Any page-specific or property-specific advice should be checked against current official requirements and the building’s records.
In scope

Detail
When should you discuss OC assistance?
You may wish to contact Premark when a building is approaching completion, when you need clarity on the application process for a specific property, when relevant records need to be organized, or when you need help coordinating follow-ups related to an existing application.
Detail
A practical starting checklist
For an initial discussion, keep the property location, type and size of building, available building permission and sanctioned plan, completion-related records and existing application details (if any) available. This is a preliminary list only; the applicable authority may require additional records and the exact checklist must be verified for the property.
