  • Essential Safety Measures

    Fire safety features such as alarms, doors, sprinklers, and exits are checked for installation and maintenance compliance. Routine audits support building owners in meeting annual reporting and maintenance obligations.

  • Swimming Pool & Spa Compliance

    Pool and spa barriers are inspected to confirm they meet AS 1926.1 for safety and child protection. Inspection outcomes include a compliance certificate or a report detailing required rectifications.

  • Unauthorised Building Work

    Work completed without approval is assessed for compliance with building legislation. The process includes site inspections, compliance notices, and guidance for retrospective permits or necessary rectification.

  • Dilapidation Surveys

    The condition of adjacent properties is recorded before construction begins. This protects all parties by identifying existing structural issues that might otherwise be blamed on the building works.

  • Building Permits

    Building permits involve reviewing proposed works against the Building Code of Australia and relevant legislation. The process confirms compliance before any building activity starts, making sure the project is lawful and structurally sound.

  • Compliance Assessments

    Plans and documentation are analysed to verify they meet current building regulations, planning overlays, and technical standards. This may include assessing performance-based solutions when standard compliance paths don't apply.

  • Mandatory Inspections

    Construction is inspected at key stages such as footing, frame, and final fit-out. Each inspection checks the work against the approved plans and permit conditions before progressing to the next stage.

  • Report & Consent Applications

    Applications are prepared and lodged for siting or design variations. This includes matters like reduced setbacks, building over easements, and boundary construction, often involving council coordination and negotiation.

  • Occupancy Permits & Final Inspections

    Completed buildings are reviewed for structural safety and regulatory compliance before people can occupy them. Required certificates, reports, and final approvals are issued once all conditions are met.

  • Pre-Purchase Building Compliance Reports

    Existing buildings are assessed to identify non-compliance, illegal works, and future obligations. Buyers gain a clear understanding of risks and required upgrades before purchase.

  • Regulation Code Advice

    Specialised advice is provided for complex scenarios, including fire engineering, performance solutions, and building code interpretations. This is often used during design stages or dispute resolution.

  • Reg. 116 Protection Work

    Protection work documentation involves determining the need for measures to protect neighbouring properties during construction. This includes assessing potential risks, issuing notices, and managing adjoining owner responses.
