HENDRY building certifiers provides consultancy services in the evaluation of designs (building certifier), auditing properties, buildings and the issuing of Development Permits for Building Works throughout Queensland.

Fire Safety Engineering & Alternative Solutions

The deemed to satisfy requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) can often impose unnecessary building costs as a result of conservative provisions. The BCA is however, a performance-based code and its performance requirements can be used by building certifiers in order to achieve an alternative solution to prescriptive specified standards. The performance regulations provide the criteria to ensure that regulatory objectives are achieved, and to allow for alternative innovative, safe and cost effective building design solutions to be presented.

BCA Audits: Building Certifiers

Since the BCA does not apply to buildings retrospectively, most buildings in Queensland do not comply with the current Building Code of Australia, a building surveyor may consider a BCA Audit. A building owner wishing to sell, or a prospective purchaser of a building, may need to know whether the building complies with the current BCA in such areas as fire safety installations, health and amenity provisions, access for disabled, services compliance, and services life expectancy. HENDRY building certifiers can provide building owners or prospective building purchasers with an accurate assessment of the status of their building, so that informed decisions can be made.
