We are registered with the Building Commission NSW as a Building Surveyor - Unrestricted, which is the highest level of registration available, and as a Registered Certifier and Principal Certifier. We have the knowledge and experience to develop innovative and practical solutions to ensure your project complies with the BCA.
BCA Report
A clause by clause assessment of a proposed or existing building against the Building Code of Australia (BCA), with practical and cost-effective recommendations wherever a requirement is not met.
Council will usually ask for one with a Development Application, and again at Building Information Certificate stage where the work has already been carried out. Some Councils request it as a BCA Capability Statement.
Performance Solution Report
A Performance Solution is an alternative pathway to comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
A Performance Solution is often requested by a Registered Certifier or Council to resolve non-compliance with the prescriptive requirements of the BCA. A Performance Solution is typically a one-off design, unique to work with site constraints or specific project outcomes.
BCA Capability Statement
Council issues these where fire safety in an existing building is judged inadequate. There is a short window to negotiate the scope before the order is finalised.
That window is the cheapest point to act. We audit the building, put the case to Council, and set an upgrade path that is realistic for a building still in use.
