BASIX COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATION
Classification types - Class 1, 2 and 4 type buildings in accordance with the NCC (National Construction Code) 2019 / 2022
A BASIX Certificate must be provided to the local council or certifying authority along with the submitted plans for all new homes, alterations, and additions over $50,000.00 in value.
BASIX is the pathway for compliance for all class 1 and 2, and 4 type buildings in NSW. BASIX endeavours to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in conjunction with government targets. The difference from other states and territories is that BASIX looks at the dwelling holistically, considering the Water usage, Insulation, Glazing and Energy use.
BASIX HAS 2 PATHWAYS OF COMPLIANCE FOR THERMAL ASSESSMENTS
1. DIY Method – This is restricted to a maximum floor area of 300 sqm and cannot have a glazing area greater than 40% and less than 6% of the total floor square meters. It must be a single dwelling on one lot without a mezzanine floor.
2. Simulation Method – This is completed by an accredited Assessor Accrediting Organisation (AAO) to conduct Simulations for the Thermal Comfort Index of BASIX.
WHY WE RECOMMEND USING 10 STAR BUILDING ASSESSEMENTS
We pride ourselves on quickly responding and meeting the client's expectations. Once we have received your request, we will provide a quotation along with the BASIX preferences selection sheet. This process streamlines the timeframe and provides the necessary information to input into the BASIX software. Using our expensive knowledge, we can recommend a cost-effective building while maintaining a thermally comfortable dwelling. As accredited practitioners in HERO and FirstRate5 5 software, we can transition from the DIY method to the simulation method and provide a certified energy star rating. A well-constructed BASIX assessment can save you thousands of dollars during the building process, along with delivering ongoing savings across the life of a home. Using 10 Star Building Assessments, instead of taking a chance with DIY paths, you can develop sustainability options that will make your home more liveable and reduce the energy consumption per year to meet your needs.
BASIX assessments from $200.00 for an alteration and addition and $300 basic new home. (all prices excl GST and certificate fees).
Ensure your building is energy-efficient and meets BASIX requirements.
