Building Code + Regulations
Our team has extensive knowledge of the building regulations, including the National Construction Code (NCC), Building Code of Australia (BCA) and all Australian Standards applicable to buildings.
Expert Code Consultancy for all Stakeholders
Our skilled team of code consultants is uniquely positioned to provide building regulations consultancy to all stakeholders, including owners, architects, developers, builders, strata plans and public sector authorities. For both existing and new buildings, we facilitate the building approvals process, helping to ensure building proposals satisfy the regulatory requirements of the approving authority.
Concept Design
Our building code consultants provide specialised services during the design development stage of a project. We conduct concept stage assessments to optimise the design of proposed building works, enhancing both efficiency and compliance. We perform detailed audits for existing structures to identify areas that require upgrading and recommend appropriate improvement strategies as required by the building regulations. Additionally, we liaise with project stakeholders to address building code and regulatory concerns and offer expert advice on performance-based compliance options to ensure your project meets regulatory requirements and performance goals.
Construction Stage Services
We provide inspections of buildings under construction on behalf of builders and developers to identify potential defects and risks early, helping to minimise the likelihood of defect claims. Additionally, our services include the provision of building code compliance advice and guidance with respect to building regulations processes that may arise during the construction phase. This ensures that all aspects of the project are managed effectively and comply with relevant standards throughout the construction process.
Existing Buildings
Jensen Hughes offers in-depth audits of existing buildings to evaluate compliance with the building code and relevant building regulations. We specialise in establishing effective fire safety upgrade strategies for older buildings, ensuring where necessary they conform to the latest building code requirements and provide pragmatic risk based solutions to complex problems created by existing building constraints. Our services extend to managing negotiations with local councils and assisting property owners with technical compliance of fire order upgrade works. This helps streamline the compliance process and efficiently address any regulatory issues.
Building Approvals + Construction Certification
Jensen Hughes offers detailed assessments of design documentation to ensure accuracy and compliance with the building code and relevant building regulations. Our expertise extends to Crown Certification of state and federal projects for buildings and infrastructure. We also prepare detailed performance solution reports to address specific regulatory needs and liaise effectively with councils, certifiers, certifying authorities, and fire brigades to facilitate smooth project progression and adherence to all relevant building regulations and related standards.
