Mayfair Compliance Solutions specialises in the preparation of Performance Solution reports for the Australian construction industry — supporting residential and commercial projects from concept through to certification.
When a design does not meet the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions of the National Construction Code, a Performance Solution can provide a practical pathway to compliance. We prepare robust and defensible Performance Solutions that assist project teams in demonstrating compliance while maintaining design intent, functionality and constructability
Innovative designs that do not fit within the prescriptive provisions of the NCC.
Alternative materials, products and construction methodologies requiring technical assessment.
Complex access, weatherproofing, drainage and amenity requirements.
We develop evidence based Performance Solutions that assist project teams in resolving complex compliance challenges while maintaining design intent, functionality and constructability.
Performance Solutions are our sole focus. Supported by a multidisciplinary team of registered building surveyors, registered engineers and qualified waterproofing design professionals, we develop evidence based compliance pathways for designs that fall outside the prescriptive provisions of the NCC, delivering robust and defensible outcomes for complex building projects.
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 drawings, project information and the specific design challenge. We’ll review the proposal and provide a fixed fee quotation and realistic delivery timeframe, typically within one business day.
