Recent heavy rainfall has underscored how vital building resilience and integrity are for multi-residential structures. Prolonged water exposure can reveal hidden defects, leading to potential safety risks and costly repairs.
Over recent years, legislative reforms have reinforced the need for qualified, highly competent practitioners to undertake remedial work on complex buildings. The Design and Building Practitioners (DBP) Act 2020 in New South Wales mandates that only registered Class 2 building practitioners—those holding unrestricted Building Practitioner General registration—are authorised to work on multi-level apartment buildings, including Class 3 and 9a structures.
This legislation was introduced to address the longstanding issues associated with defects in multi-residential buildings and to ensure strict compliance with the Building Code of Australia. Building Practitioners with restricted registration such as Low/Medium Rise registrations are not authorised to undertake remedial or certification works on above 3 level multi-storey apartments, nor on Class 3 or 9a buildings.
Why Engage Only Unrestricted, Registered Building Practitioners?
Engaging only fully qualified, unrestricted registered Building Practitioners guarantees:
- Work performed by professionals with the necessary skills, qualifications, and licences for complex, multi-storey, multi-use buildings
- Full compliance with legislation and building standards
- Assurance that remedial and restoration works are durable, effective, and up to the highest safety standards
