Building Code of Australia - BCA Reports

---

A Building Code of Australia - BCA Report is commonly required to support an application to Council for a Building Information Certificate (BIC).

A Building Information Certificate is often required in situations where unauthorised building work has occurred without formal approval.

A Building Information Certificate (formerly known as a Building Certificate) prevents Council from issuing an Order for a period of 7 years. Only Council have the authority to issue a Building Information Certificate, they cannot be issued by Registered Certifiers.

To ensure that Council have accurate information to assist with assessing an application for a Building Information Certificate, a Council may require a BCA Report to be provided by an appropriately qualified person. 

A BCA Report provides Council with the facts, and specifies the level of compliance of a building or structure in relation to the Building Code of Australia.

Our Certifiers have an in-depth knowledge of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and can produce detailed BCA Reports that can be submitted to your local Council with your application  for a Building Information Certificate.

NOTE: 

1. As our registration is restricted to domestic residential building work, we provide BCA Reports for Class 1a & 10a buildings only. We do not provide BCA reports for Class 2-9 commercial buildings.

2. BCA compliance audit reports are a consulting report only & are not 'certification work' under the EPA Act 1979.

3. A BCA Report advises of the facts & there is no guarantee that a BCA Report will be accepted by Council.

4. A BCA Report does not guarantee that Council will issue a Building Information Certificate for the unauthorised works.
