What Are Performance Solutions?

A building performance solution is a customised compliance strategy that demonstrates how a building meets the intent of the Building Code of Australia (BCA), even if it doesn’t follow the standard “Deemed-to-Satisfy” (DtS) provisions. These solutions are ideal for:

  • Unique or complex building designs
  • Non-standard materials or construction methods
  • Alternative fire safety systems
  • Heritage overlays or adaptive reuse projects
  • Spatial constraints or innovative layouts

Performance solutions are tailored strategies that allow buildings to meet safety and compliance requirements in innovative, flexible ways – especially when standard prescriptive solutions fall short. These solutions are essential for complex or unique projects where creativity and technical expertise are required to achieve compliance without compromising design intent or functionality.

Performance solutions can be used to address issues such as non-standard construction materials, alternative fire safety systems, or unique building layouts. They’re often the key to unlocking design flexibility, cost savings, and faster approvals, while still meeting the intent of the Building Code of Australia.

Our building performance solution reports provide the technical justification and documentation needed to support alternative compliance pathways, helping you gain faster approvals and reduce unnecessary costs.

Performance Solutions

Did you know?

These include apartments, offices, hospitals, schools, and commercial buildings—where flexibility and innovation are often needed.

By avoiding over-specification or unnecessary redesigns, performance solutions can deliver real savings.

Performance-based compliance allows for creative layouts, adaptive reuse, and modern materials—without compromising safety or compliance.
