Stuck with a compliance issue where you just can’t tick every DTS box? You don’t always need to change the design, just the path. Brentnall BCA builds logical, NCC-aligned solutions without compromising your intent.

Performance Solutions

How We Help

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.

Identify DTS
Limitations

We confirm where your design doesn’t meet DTS, and assess if a Performance Solution is required or if you’re being misadvised

Build BCA Logic for
Performance Solution

We write the logic pathway that connects the design back to the NCC intent, so certifiers can’t poke holes in the compliance story.

Support Fire/Access
Performance Solution

While we don’t write these, we help your fire or access consultant make sure their inputs align with your overall BCA strategy.

Review Draft
PS Reports

We review Performance Solutions written by others before submission, flagging risks, compliance gaps, or likely certifier objections.

What You’ll Get From Us

We don’t just draft a Performance Solution. We give you exactly what a certifier needs to say “yes” without dragging your project into limbo.

How We Work With You

Review The DTS Gap

We start by identifying where your design hits a DTS wall, and what specific BCA intent it’s still achieving anyway.

Test The
BCA Logic

We check the proposal against the Performance Requirements & build a clause-by-clause logic path that stacks up under scrutiny.

Frame It For Approval

We write a report that explains your solution in plain terms, ready for council or certifier review.

Why Choose Us?

We’ve seen how certifiers respond to Performance Solutions, and where they stall. We pre-empt the usual friction points so your report doesn’t end up in review limbo.

We don’t ask you to start again. We work with your existing drawings to identify what’s already doing the job, even if it doesn’t tick every DTS box on paper.

We don’t cut corners or stretch the rules. We build Performance Solutions that follow NCC structure clause by clause, so they hold up under scrutiny and get approved faster.

FAQ

Do I really need a Performance Solution?

If the DTS path doesn’t apply to your design, a Performance Solution is your only other NCC-compliant option.

Yes, if the solution meets the NCC intent and uses recognised Assessment Methods, it is a valid path to approval.

Not always. Performance Solutions outside fire or energy require a broader BCA understanding beyond specialist scope

Most straightforward Performance Solutions can be scoped and documented within 1–2 weeks, depending on project complexity.

If the Assessment Method is weak or unclear, rejection is possible. Brentnall BCA uses robust justification to reduce this risk.
