Certifiers, why use us?
As a former Certifier I know how difficult it is to keep on top of every change in legislation and every Standard we deal with. We are expected to issue a fully BCA compliant set of CC plans and yet are not allowed to make any "design changes" to these plans even by making notes on the plans. By simply providing us your plans we can make all the necessary changes for you, ensuring the CC plans you are issuing fully comply with all of the legislative bushfire requirements. Peace of mind!

Upon amendment of the plans, a final review will be undertaken by our BPAD Accredited Bushfire Consultant. Once satisfied that the required amendments have been incorporated, a compliance letter will be issued to the Certifier, Builder, and/or Owner confirming that the plans comply with the relevant bushfire-related Conditions of Consent and applicable BAL construction requirements.
At this stage, you will also be provided with a copy of the amended compliant plans in PDF format, together with a set of specifications relevant to the nominated BAL level.
