Services
Building Code Compliance
Milestone Building Compliance ensures buildings meet current Building Code of Australia requirements through detailed technical assessments. Our experts identify compliance gaps and provide solutions for new constructions and existing buildings undergoing upgrades. We work with clients from design phase through to construction completion.
Building Inspections
We conduct comprehensive inspections of commercial buildings during construction and for existing properties. Our reports identify non-compliance issues with the National Construction Code and include photographic evidence with recommended corrective actions for statutory compliance.
Due Diligence Reporting
Our due diligence services evaluate building compliance for property transactions, strata conversions, and upgrade planning. Reports assess current condition against historical and current building regulations, including accessibility requirements and building services performance.
Approval Coordination
We facilitate communication between clients and approval authorities to streamline the building permit process. Our expertise in regulatory expectations helps progress project milestones while maintaining compliance with Western Australia's Building Act requirements.
Statutory Upgrades
We advise on mandatory upgrade triggers for existing buildings to meet current code requirements. Our services include assessing compliance gaps, recommending cost-effective solutions, and certifying completed upgrades to satisfy regulatory obligations.
