Victorian projects are assessed from the drawing set. A Melbourne tenancy, a regional shop and a warehouse on the western or south-eastern industrial estates are quoted the same way: no site visit, and no travel charge.
The usual work is a Class 5 office fit-out, a Class 6 shop, a Class 7b warehouse or a Class 9b public building, and new buildings in those classes. Interior fit-outs are a large part of that. The report follows the tenancy or the building shown on the drawings. It is not widened to the whole base building unless that is the scope.
Victorian referrals are commonly office fit-outs, shops, warehouses on the western or south-eastern industrial estates, and public buildings. The first page is written so the certifier can see the result before the schedules.
Interior fit-outs are a large part of the Melbourne work. The report follows the tenancy on the drawings and is not widened to the base building unless that is the scope.
Victoria moves to NCC 2025 on 1 May 2027. Until then, most current Section J applications are still under NCC 2022 unless the certifier has called up NCC 2025. The compliance summary names the edition used.
The climate zone comes from the address on the drawings. A central Melbourne project and a site in a cooler or more exposed part of Victoria are not assessed as the same climate.
Reports are From $650 inc GST. The fixed quote follows a review of the drawings. One minor revision is included. A 50% deposit starts the work, and the balance is due before the report is released.
