The introduction of NCC 2019

The ABCB have recently released a preview, and finished information seminars for building surveyors relating to the introduction of NCC 2019. Three years have passed since the last edition of the BCA, which has brought some significant changes to the look and content of all volumes of the Building Code.
Changes to how energy efficiency can be assessed and verification method for building in bushfire prone areas are two changes our building surveyors have commented will have an impact on your next project. Building surveyors and Certifiers are still permitted to certify buildings to the 2016 edition of the code as it is still in effect until 30th April 2020, however, it may be worth contacting one of our building surveyors today to discuss changes further.
If you would like any further information or would like advice from one of our building surveyors on another project please contact our office on 6114 9356 or admin@greenstartconsulting.com.au

Misconceptions about Web Designers

There are many misconceptions about web designers that we thought we would take a moment to address them. 1.        Web Design is easy & anyone can do it Sure, websites can look effortless and simple but each button and feature takes time and effort in decision-making, as well as analysing and a lot of trial and error. There is a lot of work that goes into a website, ensuring it is achieving its business purposes while still having an effective design. 2.        The site is done, so you don’t need us anymore This is the most common misconception that we hear about and one that concerns us the most.

Websites are the most effective when they are the most relevant, therefore frequent updates to your content and technology is crucial. As well as frequent backups, to ensure that your site is secure. This is why Design Web Perth offers a monthly fee ...
