Performance Solutions
A Performance Solution is an alternative method of achieving compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC), as opposed to following the standard ‘Deemed-to-Satisfy’ provisions. At Arki Building Surveyors, we develop tailored Performance Solutions that meet the intent of the relevant building codes while addressing the specific needs and challenges of your project. This approach allows for greater flexibility without compromising safety, functionality, or compliance.

When do you need a Performance Solution?

Not every building will fit cleanly under the deemed-to-satisfy provisions of the NCC. In these situations, you will require a Performance Solution, which is a design brief and plan that demonstrates your proposed building work will still meet the performance requirements of the construction code. In particular, you will need to explore a Performance Solution when:

  • Your design does not meet the deemed-to-satisfy provisions
  • You are using an innovative method or material for your construction
  • You are adapting a structure in a way that will not meet standard codes

Where we have not been appointed as your relevant building surveyor and you require an alternative solution, we can assist you.

Getting an NCC Performance Solution

Performance Solutions need to be thoroughly documented, able to be justified, and approved by the appropriate authority. Our experienced team helps with the development and documentation of these solutions across all types of building projects.

We conduct detailed assessments of your proposed design, prepare clear documentation that demonstrates how it will comply with the requirements of the National Construction Code, and provide final reports that will meet the needs of regulatory authorities.
