Code Performance provides specialist compliance advisory services for BCA Access and Fire Engineering.

CODE PERFORMANCE

Our Services

Our services are senior-led and performance-focused. We work directly with architects, developers and builders on projects where technical precision and commercially aware advice are essential.

FIRE ENGINEERING

We provide specialist fire engineering services focused on performance-based solutions under the Building Code of Australia.

Fire engineering is typically required where projects are complex, innovative, or constrained. Our role is to develop practical fire safety strategies that allow designs to move beyond standard Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions while still achieving compliance. Our approach focuses on clear, buildable outcomes that support design intent, reduce approval risk, and provide confidence through the design and construction process.

Our services include:

  • Fire Engineering Reports (FER)

  • Fire Brigade Performance Based Design Briefs (Fire Brigade PBDB)

  • Fire Engineering Modelling

  • Liaison with FRNSW, Council, authorities in relation to Fire Engineering

  • Construction phase support and review

For Fire Engineering enquiries, contact Russell Collins on 0412 741 241

ACCESS CONSULTING

We provide specialist Access Consulting to help project teams meet accessibility requirements while reducing risk, enhancing design and avoiding issues later in the project.

Accessibility requirements are set through the Disability Discrimination Act, the Premises Standards, and the Building Code of Australia. We help design and construction teams understand what applies and how to meet these requirements in a practical way.

Our services include:

  • Clear advice on accessibility requirements and compliance

  • Design reviews at all stages (DA, CC, and construction)

  • Development Application support, including Access Reports and statements

  • Site inspections and accessibility audits

  • Practical performance solutions for complex, constrained, or heritage projects

PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS

Our BCA performance solutions go beyond compliance — they unlock smarter, more efficient building outcomes. By leveraging performance-based design, we help clients:

  • Achieve compliance with greater design flexibility

  • Reduce construction and material costs

  • Resolve complex design constraints

  • Improve building functionality and innovation

  • Streamline approval pathways with clear, evidence-based solutions

We work closely with project teams, certifiers, and authorities to ensure outcomes are not only compliant with the Building Code of Australia, but also commercially and practically optimised. Performance solutions aren’t just an alternative pathway — they’re a value-adding strategy.

BCA CONSULTING

We provide specialist BCA Consulting to support project teams in meeting the requirements of the Building Code of Australia while managing risk through design and construction.

The BCA sets the minimum requirements for building classification, fire safety, access, and general building performance. We help design and construction teams interpret these requirements clearly and apply them in a practical, project-specific way.

Our services include:

  • Clear advice on BCA compliance requirements

  • Design reviews across all project stages (DA, CC, construction)

  • Development Application support, including reports and documentation

  • Site inspections and compliance reviews

  • Practical performance solutions for complex or constrained projects
