The National Construction Code (NCC) is updated on a 3 year cycle, with amendments to enhance building safety, health, amenity, and sustainability.

This is why sometimes a method of construction may be compliant one year… then non-compliant the next! Meaning you can’t always do what you neighbour was allowed to do!

As a registered building practitioner, it is our responsibility to keep up to date with changes in our industry to ensure the compliance of your project so that you can obtain the relevant permits.

If you’d like to discuss a project with us, please book a time to have a conversation via the links on our website.

Today 1 May is the day Victoria officially adopts the National Construction Code 2025.

This means all building and plumbing practitioners must comply with the Victorian variations of the new building code – including new lead-free plumbing product requirements.

This bank project has come together beautifully, preserved for many more years to come.

A true team effort, and we’re proud to have delivered the design, plans and documentation that helped set a clear vision from the outset alongside Wheeler Builders Gippsland.

We’ve built a strong working relationship with Wheeler Builders Gippsland on this project for some wonderful clients.

It was great to be back on site this week to see the renovation and extension taking shape. The clients are genuinely loving the progress, and we’re looking forward to plaster going up in the coming weeks.

One of the quiet wins on this project is the existing native garden, which softens the site beautifully and will help the home and the clients feel settled and established from day one.

Work took me out of the office this afternoon & included a stop at the Heyfield Wetlands & visitor information centre… beautiful day for it ☀️

Quite a bit of demolition in this project before it gets underway. The clients were keen to renovate rather than demolish entirely. The existing home has ‘great bones’, as they say, and this way there is less wastage. We are so grateful to be trusted with this clients vision & to work alongside Wheeler Builders Gippsland to bring the project to life.
