Energy Compliance Reports for Already Built Homes

Already Built? We Specialise in Retrospective Energy Reports

 

Helping You Meet Compliance — Even After the Fact.
In Queensland, if building work has been completed without the proper approvals or final certification, a retrospective approval may be required.

This applies when work has been carried out without a Development Approval (DA) or Building Approval (BA) — and falls under the Building Act 1975. At House of Stars, we work alongside experienced building certifiers who specialise in retrospective approvals — and we handle the energy compliance reports required to support that process.

Is a Second Opinion Allowed?  Yes

 

Sometimes, it’s not about questioning the original energy report, it’s about making sure everyone’s working from the same page.

Just like you’d seek a second or third opinion from a doctor about your health, builders, architects, designers, and clients regularly turn to House of Stars for that extra layer of clarity — especially when design changes, budget pressure, or code confusion puts a project at risk.

A second opinion is not just a fallback — it’s a valuable, proactive step. It can reveal overlooked compliance options, suggest more cost-effective product selections, prevent unnecessary upgrades, and in many cases, avoid expensive redesigns. Some of our clients have saved tens of thousands.
Others have simply gained the peace of mind to move forward with confidence.
