We ensure that designs meet building regulations from the concept stage, evaluate new projects, and assess existing structures to ensure compliance and efficiency at the beginning of any project.
Comprehensive Design + Building Upgrade Services
We specialise in providing detailed assessments of designs to ensure compliance with building regulations, including the National Construction Code (NCC), Building Code of Australia (BCA) and all Australian Standards applicable to buildings, from the initial concept stage through to the detailed design stages.
Design Stage Services
Our team of building code consultants covers all phases of the design process, from pre-development to the detailed design phase. We begin by assessing proposed new works for design optimisation and auditing existing structures to identify and recommend appropriate upgrading regimes. We then liaise with councils and advise on performance-based compliance design options. In the detailed design phase, we provide an architectural and services design assessment with detailed drawings of proposed developments against the National Construction Code (NCC).
Building Upgrades
As building codes are revised and buildings change through alterations and refurbishment, voluntary and mandatory fire safety upgrades become necessary. Our extensive experience, great teamwork and innovative approaches allow us to add value to building upgrades. We provide fire safety upgrade strategies and reporting along with inspection and audit services using both regulatory and risk-based methods. Typically covering audits against current code requirements, detailed condition reports, due diligence reports, and fire and life safety audit reports.
Achieving Compliance with Performance Solutions
Our consultants identify areas of non-compliance and highlight opportunities for achieving BCA compliance through performance solutions during the design stage. These alternative approaches can meet or exceed the required performance outcomes of the building code, allowing for innovative design while ensuring regulatory standards are met.
