BASIX Certificates - from just $99.00.
Don't waste your precious
time and energy trying to work out
how to create a BASIX Certificate. For a very small fee, Building
Sustainability Assessments (BSA) can take this complex job
off your hands. Prices start from as little as $99…a
small price to pay for peace of mind. Here's how it works:
| Step 1: |
We thoroughly assess your plans
and then provide you with enough information and
expertise to make informed choices about how you
would like to meet your BASIX commitments e.g. water
saving, using less energy and achieving thermal
performance. |
| Step 2: |
We annotate your plans to ensure
they meet the BASIX documentation requirements,
and issue you with a BASIX Certificate. |
| Result: |
You receive Council approval
for your BASIX commitments. First time! Every time! |

Thermal Performance Assessment and House
Energy Ratings.
As part of the BASIX certification process,
some developments will be required to demonstrate thermal
performance compliance i.e. how much energy will be required
to keep a dwelling cool in summer and warm in winter.
The thermal performance of some developments is best assessed
by using a simulation tool e.g. BERS and Accurate (NatHERS).
This process allows the designer more choices in ways to achieve
thermal compliance. It many cases, it can also lead to reduced
construction costs.
BSA is an Accredited Thermal Performance Assessor. We can
provide advice as to whether simulation will add value to
your proposed development. If so, we can then conduct the
thermal performance assessment and then issue the relevant
certification.
BSA can also provide practical ideas
and advice for energy saving household design.
BCA Section J "Deemed to Satisfy
Provisions".
Section J of the BCA requires that a building, including its
services, must have features that reduce the creation of greenhouse
gases. BSA provides advice and compliance reporting to demonstrate
how your proposed development will meet BCA Section J provisions.
We are able to review your preliminary plans and specifications
and advise on required initiatives to meet BCA Section J "Deemed
to Satisfy Provisions". We will provide specification
documentation and construction notes for inclusion on plans
to indicate energy efficiency initiatives.
BASIX Training Packages.
BSA can come to your workplace and provide
you and your staff with full training and information seminars
for:
|
|
Achieving BASIX compliance (water, energy
and thermal performance features); and |
|
|
Using the BASIX Online Tool. |
Our training packages can be individually designed
to meet the specific knowledge requirements for building designers,
architects, developers, industry bodies and Council representatives.
