LEADING AUSTRALIAN CODE CONSULTANCY
Our building code consulting team provides expert advice on regulations, codes and safety for building projects. Using a proactive approach to building control, we identify cost-effective design solutions, facilitate certification, conduct code audits and building inspections, and carry out due diligence, compliance and approval assessments. As code consultants, we assist with all manner of building regulation consultancy throughout the design phases of your projects. With the introduction of the NSW Building and Development Certifiers Act on 1 July 2020, and similarly in other states of Australia, there is a stronger distinction between design consultancy and certification functions and what constitutes a conflict of interest. Accredited Certifiers/PCAs, now known as Registered Certifiers or those who undertake certification work, will no longer be able to participate in a project’s design phases and Development Application assessments.
