Building Code of Australia (National Construction Code)
Building Code of Australia is part of the ACT Building Act, therefore all constructions should be compliant, however alternative solutions can be suggested with the Deemed-to-Satisfy provision.

Clay and clay mixture foundations
When foundations are built in clay or mixtures of clay and sand, underground water will be held in contact with the walls and will cause leakage, particularly after heavy rains.

Winter heat loss
Did you know? External walls, ceilings and roof spaces account for up to 60% of winter heat loss? You can reduce your energy bill by insulating your heated and non-heated areas.

Avoid the traps

Certification & Compliance Services

Building Approval and Certification Services

The Director of Vaziri Consulting Engineer, Mr Shahrokh Vaziri, is a qualified Principal Building Certifier through Engineers Australia in 2005 and a member of the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors. Mr Vaziri is qualified to assess and approve a variety of Building classes in the ACT & NSW.

When we receive your application (along with your proposed design) we will check for any Development Approval (DA) exemptions that apply. The ACT Planning and Land Authority have an exempted list of buildings from DA, however in many cases your unapproved structure or design will still require Building Approval. We’ll provide you with expert guidance to ensure your design meets all requirements from start to finish.

Development Approval (DA) Exemption Eligibility

In many cases, single dwelling housings do not require DA approval. We can evaluate each application against the rules and criteria that apply within a very short timeframe to make this determination. Usually, this is a free service.

If your design will not meet the Housing Development Code, we’ll tell you. If this happens, you’ll need to obtain DA Approval.

Unapproved Structures

There are many unapproved structures in the ACT. To meet insurance requirements, most of them require approval. Vaziri Consulting are able to offer the Building Assessment services and expert advice you need to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy, if your structure is compliant.
