BCA Consultant

Compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC), formally known as the Building Code of Australia (BCA) is mandatory for construction projects in Australia, in order to obtain council approval.

Without that approval, you would not be able to use the building for its intended purpose, and that’s if you were even able to start construction in the first place.

The Best BCA Consultants Available

Section J Reports Australia is a building code consultant, able to help you obtain the approval you need with maximum efficiency.

When you choose Section J Reports Australia as your BCA consultants, you will save time, money, and hassle. We make it easy for you to get your project approved, because we have so much experience and expertise in BCA consulting.

Why do you need a BCA consultant?

Having a BCA consultant means you don’t need to worry about missing something important that ends up delaying your project by several months or costing massive amounts of money to fix.

From us you will get the right BCA advice to ensure you don’t encounter any problems from the administrative side of things.

If you proceed without a BCA consultant assisting you, any small mistake or oversight will have a really serious impact on your project. As your BCA advisors, we help you avoid mistakes, and we set things up to give you the best chance of success.

What things are necessary for compliance?

The BCA is a formal set of criteria that need to be met by any proposed or on-going project before it can be certified as compliant. Without certified compliance to the BCA provisions, a building won’t be approved, and the project will fail.

The BCA sets out the rules and compliance levels for things like:

• Structural adequacy (meaning how strong and appropriate the building is)
• Fire resistance (how quickly fire would be expected to consume the building)
• Entry and exit points (for access and egress)
• Services and equipment (things like smoke detectors and electricity meters)
• Energy efficiency and sustainability (being easy to heat and/or cool)
• Health and amenity provisions (eg. toilets, kitchens, washing areas, etc.)

These are not things that you, or anyone else involved in the design or construction of the project can assess. They must be assessed by an independent third party that is appropriately qualified to make the assessment, such as Section J Reports Australia.

What is the cost involved in complying with these laws?

The actual cost can vary according to many different factors including the nature of the project, the area where the project is being constructed, and individual requirements of the state in which the construction is taking place.

The one thing that is absolutely certain, however, is that not complying with these laws is going to be much more expensive than if you do comply. Play it safe and engage Section J Reports Australia as your BCA consultants.
