Class 1 and 10 BCA and NCC Compliance Advice
Written BCA and NCC compliance advice explains how a class 1 or 10 proposal, or an existing class 1 or 10 building, sits against the National Construction Code. The document is advice, not a statutory certificate.
What this service covers
- Written class 1 and 10 BCA / NCC advice
- Support for certification applications where a code narrative is needed
- Existing-building commentary where the inspection and documents allow it
- Clear statements of what is assessed and what is not
Advice is not certification
A compliance advice document is not a construction certificate, complying development certificate or occupation certificate. Those certificates are statutory instruments issued on their own processes. This page is written advice for class 1 and 10 buildings.
What you must provide
Advice can only address the drawings, photographs and reports you supply, and any inspection that is separately arranged. Incomplete information produces limited advice, not a completed assessment of the building.
What this service does not include
Exclusive Certifiers does not supply design amendments, architectural or building-design services, or performance-solution design. Those documents are prepared by independent architects, designers or engineers. The certifier can explain the certification implications of a submitted performance solution; it does not design one.

Questions about class 1 and 10 compliance advice
Do I need written compliance advice as well as a construction certificate?
Not always. Many CC applications are assessed from the drawings and the usual consultant reports. Dedicated written advice is useful when the code story is complex or when an existing class 1 or 10 building is being changed.
Is compliance advice a certificate?
No. It is a consultancy document. Statutory certificates are issued under the planning and certification legislation on their own pages of this site.
