A surveyor on your design's side

When the DTS won't work, we write the Performance Solution that will.

A Deemed to Satisfy clash isn't the end of the design. Whether it's still on the board or already built, we prepare the Performance Solution your building surveyor needs to sign it off.

What usually happens vs what we do

A redesign is the last resort, not the first answer.

SheetA-01
StatusWithout a Performance Solution
Redesign it
Weeks lost, drawings reworked, and the idea watered down to fit the clause.
Rip it out
It's already built and short of the mark, so it gets demolished and done again.
Argue it
A submission with no assessment method behind it, and a certifier who can't accept it.
SheetA-02
StatusWith a Performance Solution
Keep the design
The Performance Requirements are met on an alternative path, so the design survives.
Keep the build
Already built and non-compliant? The solution is written against what's actually there.
Built to be assessed
Framed around the NCC's own Assessment Methods, which is what your surveyor assesses against.
How it works

Three steps, and the first one takes you five minutes.

Send us the problem

The plans, and where they fall short of the DTS Provisions or AS 1428.1. Fixed fee quote back within 24 hours.

We build the case

Using whichever Assessment Method actually fits: comparison with the DTS Provisions, a Verification Method, evidence of suitability, or expert judgement.

Your surveyor reviews it

They're the approving authority, so we write to what they're required to assess against. No surprises, no arguing.

Who we do this for

If it doesn't comply, it lands on your desk. We take it off there.

Architects & designers

The design won't comply as drawn

You drew it for a reason. We build the alternative case so it can still go ahead.

Builders

It's already built, and it's short

Standing work that misses DTS or AS 1428.1. We write the solution your surveyor needs to sign it off.

Surveyors & certifiers

A second set of hands

Including interstate. We work alongside you on the file, not around you.

The question everyone asks

Will the certifier actually accept it?

That depends entirely on how it's written. A Performance Solution only works when it's built the way the NCC expects it to be assessed, against the Performance Requirements, using a recognised Assessment Method, on the current standards, including AS 1428.1:2021. That's the whole job.

To be clear about who does what: we prepare the solution and the supporting documentation. Your relevant building surveyor is the approving authority and makes the call. Our work exists to give them something they can properly assess, and say yes to.
