Building Compliance

As building owners ourselves, we understand that compliance can be complex. We solve your compliance effortlessly.

Building Warrant of Fitness

If your building needs a Building Warrant of Fitness, we can help you out. We do complete compliance schedule management, issuing 12As for any specified systems you have, and issuing the BWOF to you and the council. One of our most common products is a BWOF + Passive inspection, but we can inspect any system for you.

If you have your own contractors for building systems (ie Fire or HVAC) we work with them, ensuring they complete their compliance inspections on time, and issue 12As so we can issue the Building Warrant of Fitness, and your building stays compliant.

We are proud of the pragmatism we bring to the Building Warrant of Fitness process, ensuring that a realistic approach is taken to your compliance. We know things won’t always go perfectly, but we work with you and the local council to ensure that your building stays compliant and you do not have the risk of fines.

Keeping you up to date

Do I need a BWOF or a 12A?

Most commercial buildings and multi-residential buildings, such as apartments will have specified systems. If you have specified systems then you need to get a 12A for that system each year, and you need to get a BWOF. This ensures your building is compliant.

Unsure if your building requires a BWOF? We can carry out a site assessment and provide reports with an easy to understand plan of action.
