BCA Clarity can inspect an existing building and prepare a BCA Audit Report outlining an assessment against the current BCA and access requirements. Our BCA Audit Reports identify all areas of non-compliance identifiable through a visual, non-destructive inspection but, where reasonable, justify that certain and specific matters should not be subject to upgrade based on a clear understanding of the intent of the applicable requirement with reference to the way the building is being used, or is proposed to be used. These Reports are of significant benefit when submitting a development application to council that triggers a building upgrade assessment because they enable you to specify how the building will be upgraded, allowing you to incorporate all development costs before construction begins and limiting unforeseen, nasty surprises. BCA Audit Reports should also form the basis of satisfying your due diligence during pre-purchase investigations of existing buildings.
