Perth work in this practice is typically office fit-outs, retail, warehouses and public buildings in Classes 5, 6, 7b and 9b, and new buildings in those classes. A large warehouse is not given a fit-out price in disguise. The starting fee is the floor, and the fixed quote reflects the drawing set.
Western Australia has been on NCC 2025 since 1 May 2026. NCC 2022 is still accepted until about 30 April 2027. The compliance summary states the edition that applies to the application. Say which one the certifier is using if you know it.
Climate zone follows the site address. A coastal Perth project and an inland site are not interchangeable. Glazing schedules and lighting power matter just as much here as on the east coast; without them the relevant lines stay open.
The turnaround is counted from a complete set and an accepted quote, not from the moment the file is sent. A warehouse in the Perth industrial areas and a small office fit-out are both quoted from what the drawings show.
Section J reports are From $650 inc GST. Standard turnaround is 48 to 72 hours from full drawings. The same remote service is used here as in every other state. There is no travel charge.
