BCA reports for DA, CDC & CC.
The right level of BCA review depends on where the project sits in the approval process. We tailor the assessment to the decisions the design and certification team needs to make next.
BCA reports for Development Applications
At DA stage, the priority is usually to identify significant BCA constraints early enough to inform the design. This can include classification, construction type, fire separation, egress, access and other matters that may affect the layout or feasibility of the proposal.
BCA reviews for CDC applications
Complying development needs to satisfy the applicable planning controls and certification requirements. A BCA review can identify documentation gaps or design issues before the CDC package is finalised.
BCA reports for Construction Certificates
At CC stage, the documentation is generally more developed. The assessment can therefore focus on demonstrating compliance and identifying outstanding matters that need to be resolved before certification and construction.
| Stage | Typical focus |
|---|---|
| DA | Major BCA constraints and design strategy |
| CDC | Compliance pathway and documentation readiness |
| CC | Detailed BCA compliance and outstanding design matters |
What to send us
For an initial scope, send the current architectural drawings, project address, proposed use, any existing approval documentation and tell us whether the project is at DA, CDC or CC stage.
