BCA reports are often required by Council as a condition of consent.  BCA reports may also be required prior to submission to Council to ensure your proposed plan can comply to Code as designed. Having an experienced building professional carry out your BCA assessment during design may save you considerable time and money during approval and construction phases

Our assessments include a Notice of Requirements (what the Code says), Recommendations (what the Code requires) and Specifications.
