We provide advice and reports (usually Heritage Impact Statements) in relation to development proposals relating to heritage items, buildings within heritage conservation areas and for works that may affect a heritage item or area.

BASIX is an initiative by the NSW Government that requires all new and significantly altered dwellings to be designed and built to achieve a reduction in water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. A BASIX certificate is required to be lodged with most applications for residential building works.
New buildings that fall under Classes 2 to 9 (multi unit buildings or non-residential buildings) of the BCA are required to comply with the Section J energy saving requirements of the NCC/BCA. Usually consent authorities require a Section J compliance report at either the Development Application or Construction Certificate stage.
