Request a Consultation →What is a BCA Performance Solution?
A BCA Performance Solution is another way to demonstrate that a building meets the Performance Requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) without relying solely on the standard Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) provisions.
Our building code Performance Solutions support projects across NSW and Australia, helping project teams demonstrate compliance where standard Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions are not suitable. We leverage technical assessments, collaboration with key stakeholders, and clear evidence to show the solution meets safety and performance standards.
A BCA Performance Solution includes:
- Review of the relevant BCA Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions
- Identification of the applicable Performance Requirements
- Assessment of the proposed alternative design or existing condition
- Comparison against the relevant BCA provisions, Australian Standards and/or other suitable benchmarks
- Preparation of a written Performance Solution report outlining the assessment method, justification, and acceptance criteria; and
- Liaison with the project team and certifier during the review and approval process.
When Should You Consider a BCA Performance Solution?
Performance Solutions are appropriate when projects cannot reasonably comply with standard Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions or when greater design flexibility is required.
01
Innovative Building Designs
Performance Solutions let you explore unique architectural and advanced technological ideas using different approaches, while still meeting NCC Performance Requirements.
02
Complex Building Projects
We develop practical compliance pathways for buildings with unique layouts, operational requirements, or technical challenges.
03
Existing Building Upgrades
Performance Solutions help you address compliance issues when existing building conditions make it hard to meet standard Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions, especially for projects in NSW.
04
Heritage Buildings
We develop practical compliance strategies that respect heritage significance while meeting applicable building regulations.
05
Health & Amenity Compliance
Projects involving sanitary facilities, ceiling heights, ventilation, light, and other occupant amenity requirements may require alternative compliance pathways. We develop alternative compliance strategies for health and amenity matters where standard compliance is not achievable, helping address issues such as sanitary facilities, ceiling heights, ventilation, light, and other occupant amenity requirements.
06
Accessibility Performance Solutions
We develop alternative accessibility strategies when standard compliance is not possible, ensuring fair access and meeting all performance requirements.
Why Performance Solutions Matter
Not every project can achieve compliance solely through prescriptive code provisions. Performance Solutions provide an alternative compliance pathway while ensuring projects continue to satisfy the Performance Requirements of the National Construction Code.
A BCA Performance Solution helps project teams:
Support innovative architectural and engineering outcomes
Address site and building constraints
Develop practical alternative compliance pathways
Reduce unnecessary design compromises
Demonstrate compliance through documented technical assessment

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCA Performance Solution?
A BCA Performance Solution, also known as a performance-based compliance pathway, is an alternative compliance pathway that demonstrates a building satisfies the Performance Requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) without relying solely on Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions. It uses technical assessment and documented evidence to justify the proposed design.
When is a Performance Solution required?
A Performance Solution is typically considered when a project cannot practically comply with standard Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions, or where an innovative design, an existing building constraint, a heritage requirement, or health and amenity considerations require an alternative compliance pathway.
What does a Performance Solution Report include?
A Performance Solution Report documents the proposed compliance strategy, assessment methodology, technical justification, supporting evidence, stakeholder input, and how the design satisfies the relevant NCC Performance Requirements.
Can a Performance Solution be used for existing buildings?
Yes. Performance Solutions are commonly developed for existing buildings where refurbishment, change of use, or physical constraints make compliance through standard Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions difficult to achieve while still meeting the NCC Performance Requirements.
Who requires BCA Performance Solutions?
Performance Solutions are commonly required by architects, developers, builders, certifiers, property owners, and project teams delivering complex developments. Whether you require a building code Performance Solution in NSW or BCA Performance Solutions across Australia, an experienced consultant can help develop an appropriate alternative compliance pathway.
