Having introduced and pioneered private building surveying certification and private building approval systems in Australia in 1988, the HENDRY building surveying consultancy companies have extensive building surveying and essential safety measures, essential fire safety measures, and fire safety installation experience in all sectors of the building and property industries, from government and industrial, to commercial and mining.
HENDRY building surveying has operations throughout Australia and with offices in most States. We provide a comprehensive suite of consultancy services in the evaluation of designs (building certifier), auditing properties, buildings and the issuing of building approvals.
HENDRY building surveying services are based on State and Territory legislation, the Building Code of Australia (BCA) (including alternative solutions) and Australian Standards, providing clients with a complete service for their property related needs.
The deemed to satisfy provisions of the BCA can often impose unnecessary building costs as a result of conservative provisions. The BCA however, is a performance-based code, and its performance requirements can be used in building surveying in order to achieve an alternative solution to prescriptive specified standards that allow for alternative innovative, safe and cost effective building designs to be presented.
Since the BCA does not apply to buildings retrospectively and is
being continually being revised and improved, most buildings in
Australia do not comply with the
current Building Code of Australia a building owner
may consider a BCA
Audit. A building owner wishing to sell, or a prospective
purchaser of a building, may need to know whether the building
complies with the BCA in such areas as fire safety provisions,
health and amenity provisions, access for disabled, services
compliance and services life expectancy. HENDRY building
surveying can provide building owners or prospective building
purchasers with an accurate assessment of the compliance status of
a building, so that informed decisions can be made.
