About Us
At Lateral Group, our team of certifiers, administrators, and inspectors is dedicated to offering owners and applicants a practical, down-to-earth approach to navigating the certification process.
We understand that certification, though mandatory, can feel like an overwhelming maze of red tape. Our goal is to simplify this process for every project by:
- Providing clear, compliant options.
- Breaking down complex terminology into straightforward language.
- Ensuring experienced team members handle council applications.
- Keeping projects on track and within allowable timeframes.
Every project is assigned to a licensed, experienced, and well-trained certifier who oversees it from start to finish, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.
