Confused by BCA clauses, council pushback or shifting NCC rules? At Brentnall BCA, we interpret what applies, explain what doesn’t, and back it with advice that holds up under review.
Get practical, clause-by-clause support with Brentnall BCA. We offer a 360° design compliance assessment, built to help your team meet the NCC without delays or surprises.
At Brentnall BCA you don’t get vague recommendations. We give you straight, BCA-backed advice you can rely on.
You send plans, approvals, schedules or any council notes, whatever’s relevant. We tell you what we need, nothing more.
We check how the BCA applies to your question, DTS or Performance, current or past NCC, then assess the best compliance route.
We give you a written response with clause references and practical options that you can use for approvals or sign-off.
Our advice is direct, clause-referenced, and tied to actual outcomes. If something doesn’t apply, we say so. If it does, we explain why, and what it means for your project.
Not every clause needs a 10-page memo. We cut through the noise, tell you what actually matters, and help you avoid unnecessary reports, redesigns or delays.
With 25+ years in the BCA, we’ve seen how clauses evolve, how councils interpret them, and how to deal with conflicting advice, guiding you on a clear path through grey areas.
