Building Code Consultancy at Concept Design Stage and DA Stage
Engaging the services of an expert in building regulations and codes at the concept design stage can be critical to ensure that the proposed development can meet building codes and regulations, not just the relevant planning codes.
Early detection of potential conflicts and building code issues in the design process can avoid issues further down the track, where changes to the design can be costly, and may even require reassessment through council. It is important to identify and address any non-compliances during the early design phase.
During the DA stage of development, often redesign and change is needed to satisfy council requirements for planning approval. It is important to ensure these required changes do not affect the ability for the building to achieve building code compliance. During this stage, it is also possible to look at addressing other areas such as performance based fire engineering solutions, disability access solutions and general energy efficiency compliance criteria to ensure the final DA approved building can achieve compliance without having to go for further amendments. This can save a lot of time and costs in getting a project off the ground.
Building Code Consultancy at approval and construction stages
It is important to have expert guidance during the building approval and construction stages of a project.
Although a certifier may already be engaged, having an expert on building code compliance matters involved during the approval process can assist in expediting the approval process, and in developing solutions to complicated issues. In addition to reviewing the engaged certifier’s information and inspection notice requests, we can provide guidance on achieving compliance with regulatory requirements.
Independent audits can be undertaken during the construction phase to ensure all aspects of compliance can be met, and identify any potential issues well in advance of completion – allowing for effective design and rectification of these issues.
