Performance Solutions

---

Alternative fire engineering solutions to achieve NCC compliance for complex and non-standard building designs.

A Performance Solution is a fire engineering approach used to demonstrate compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) where Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions are not suitable.

It allows flexibility in building design by using engineering analysis, modelling and assessment to meet the required level of safety.

Used when:

• The design does not comply with NCC Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions
• Innovative or non-standard design features are proposed
• Architectural or functional constraints limit compliance
• A more efficient or cost-effective solution is required

Typically includes:

• Fire safety strategy development
• Identification of relevant Performance Requirements
• Fire and smoke modelling (if required)
• Egress and evacuation assessment
• Assessment of fire protection systems
• Documentation for approval

We work closely with the project team to develop practical, buildable solutions that align with the design intent while achieving compliance.

Our focus is on clear communication, efficient approvals and minimising project delays.
