NCC Performance Solutions and Access Consultants Australia
Performance-Based Design Experts for Building Compliance
At DAV Building Solutions, we specialise in performance solutions for NCC compliance across Australia. We help builders, architects, and developers achieve compliant, cost-effective outcomes when Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) provisions cannot be met.
Our team delivers clear, practical, and approval-ready performance solution reports tailored to your project.
What Is a Performance Solution?
A performance solution is an alternative method of demonstrating compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC), allowing flexibility in design while still meeting required performance standards.
We develop evidence-based reports that satisfy building surveyors, certifiers, and regulatory authorities—helping your project move forward without delays.

Our Services
-
NCC Performance Solutions
The deemed to satisfy provisions of the National Construction Code are often seen as the only way to comply with the relevant building requirements. A performance solution allows for an alternative and instant independent solution to a construction issue that can offer substantial savings before, during and after construction.
-
Disability Access
Disabled Access and Facilities must be provided to all buildings and parts, in accordance with AS1428.1-2009, the BCA, the Federal Disability & Discrimination Act (DDA), and the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards 2010. Achieving compliance can pose a complex challenge and a performance solution will help achieve adequate compliance outcomes.
-
Fire Engineering
Fire Engineering Solutions offer alternative means of complying with the sometimes rigid requirements of the BCA/NCC. A Fire Engineering Report seeks to address fire separation and fire protection of buildings and occupants without compromising the design of the project.
