A Performance Solution is an alternative approach to compliance that allows you to meet the Building Code of Australia (BCA) or Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) requirements through innovative and customized solutions, rather than following the standard Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) provisions.
You might opt for a Performance Solution if your project involves unique designs, materials, or circumstances that do not fit neatly within the standard DTS provisions. Performance Solutions offer flexibility and can often provide more cost-effective or innovative outcomes that align with your design goals.
We conduct thorough analysis and modeling to demonstrate that the proposed Performance Solution meets the required performance criteria of the BCA or PCA. Our team’s deep expertise ensures that all solutions are not only innovative but also fully compliant with the relevant codes and regulations.
A PBDB is a document that outlines the technical criteria and performance objectives for a project. It’s developed through collaboration with key stakeholders and sets the stage for a successful performance-based analysis and design.
The process involves a detailed review of your building or plumbing design to ensure it complies with Victoria’s Building Regulations 2018. Once compliance is confirmed, we issue a Regulation 126 Certificate, which provides legal assurance that your project meets the required standards.
A Peer Review involves an independent evaluation of your project’s existing Performance Solutions by our expert team. This service adds a layer of scrutiny to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and compliance of your solutions, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall project outcomes.
