BASIX certificates for New South Wales

BASIX is prepared for New South Wales projects only. It is usually quoted with NatHERS. BASIX certificate fees are GST-free and are passed through at cost, with no margin.

A New South Wales quote has three lines: our assessment fee, the BASIX certificate fee, and the NatHERS certificate fee. GST is added to our fee and to the NatHERS line. The BASIX line is GST-free.

BASIX certificates are lodged through the BASIX portal. NatHERS certificates are issued through NatHERS-approved software. If the project is outside New South Wales, choose NatHERS only.

Turnaround is about 2 to 3 business days from complete plans. Priority is +40% on our fee only. A 50% deposit is payable to start. The balance is due on issue of the final certificates.
