Gauteng cost guide · Updated 27 August 2026
A commercial CoC cannot be responsibly priced as though every shop, office, warehouse or common-property installation has the same scope. Wesslink's specialised-location attendance starts from R1,755; inspection and testing time, certification scope and remedial work are then itemised. Three-phase supplies, multiple boards, tenant alterations, shutdown windows and incomplete records can materially change the final quote.
This is planning guidance. The final amount depends on the written scope, access, condition, materials, timing and work found necessary. Never treat a search-result price as a property-specific quotation.

Usually separate
Why prices move
A better quote explains the variables instead of hiding them inside one number.
Boards, circuits, floors, units and supply points determine inspection and testing time.
Trading hours, permits, escorts and shutdown windows affect how the work can be completed.
Tenant fit-outs and undocumented changes can require circuit tracing and boundary clarification.
Three-phase, generator, inverter and metering arrangements add testing and documentation requirements.

No. The inspected scope must comply before a certificate is issued.
The authorised owner, landlord, tenant or managing party should approve a written scope after responsibilities are clarified.
