Mayfair Compliance Solutions prepares Performance Solution reports for residential and commercial projects throughout Australia. Our work covers a broad range of NCC compliance matters, including structural adequacy, access, safe movement, health and amenity, drainage, waterproofing and weatherproofing.
We apply the NCC performance based framework to identify the relevant non compliance, assess the intent of the applicable Performance Requirements and document how the proposed alternative achieves an equivalent or improved level of performance. Our reports are prepared to support building approval and provide a clear, practical pathway for resolving complex compliance issues.
Performance based assessment of external envelope systems including facade construction, roof assemblies, balconies, terraces, glazed roof elements, roof hatches and alternative weatherproofing methodologies.
Performance Solutions for access, movement and circulation challenges including stairway design, level transitions, entrances, accessible paths of travel, sanitary facilities and alternative access outcomes across
Assessment of occupant amenity outcomes including natural light, ventilation, condensation management, occupancy considerations, ceiling heights and internal spatial planning.
Assessment of basement and below ground construction incorporating a holistic review of waterproofing, drainage, ventilation, condensation management and moisture control to support long term building performance.
Performance based assessment of wet area construction including waterproofing systems, shower design, floor wastes, water containment, glazing within wet areas and alternative internal moisture management methodologies.
Assessment of innovative materials, proprietary systems, product substitutions and non standard construction approaches where prescriptive NCC pathways are unavailable.
Supporting assessments for existing buildings, alterations and constrained developments where project objectives require alternative compliance pathways and proportionate design responses.
Performance based assessment of roof drainage, stormwater management and moisture mitigation strategies.
Drawings, surveyor correspondence, and a brief description of the issue. PDFs are fine. The more we have upfront, the faster we move.
Clear scope, clear timeline, clear price. No hourly billing.
Most Performance Solutions are delivered in 5 to 10 business days, depending on complexity.
Direct surveyor liaison resolves questions faster — and keeps your project moving.
Whether you’re dealing with a design constraint, alternative construction method or NCC variation, these are some of the most common questions we receive from project teams. If you have a project specific enquiry, get in touch to discuss your proposal.
A Performance Solution is an alternative compliance pathway permitted under the National Construction Code (NCC). It allows a design that does not satisfy the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions to be assessed against the relevant Performance Requirements using evidence based assessment methods.
A Performance Solution may be required where a design incorporates innovative architecture, alternative construction methods, site constraints or technical variations from the prescriptive NCC provisions. Common examples include access, basement construction, weatherproofing of facade, drainage, amenity and alternative building products.
We prepare Performance Solutions across a broad range of NCC matters including access and accessibility, weatherproofing, waterproofing, drainage, amenity, facade systems and alternative construction methodologies.
In many cases, yes. Performance Solutions are intended to provide an alternative pathway where project objectives cannot be achieved through strict compliance with the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions. Each proposal is assessed on its individual merits.
Timeframes vary depending on project complexity and the level of assessment required. Most Performance Solutions are completed within 5 business days following receipt of the required documentation, with initial project reviews often commencing within a few business days of engagement.
We understand that project programmes can be time sensitive and will work collaboratively with clients to establish delivery timeframes that align with project requirements wherever practicable.
Typically, we require architectural drawings, a description of the design issue and any relevant consultant documentation. In most cases, we can provide a fixed fee proposal within one business day.
Send us your architectural drawings and building surveyors checklist. We’ll come back with a clear scope.
