Tenancy fit-outs in Sydney towers and business parks are quoted on the fit-out drawings. They are not turned into a whole-building reassessment unless that is the scope the certifier has asked for.
New South Wales moves to NCC 2025 on 1 May 2027. Until then, a current Section J application is usually still under NCC 2022 unless the certifier has nominated otherwise. Where a New South Wales variation changes an item in scope, the report records it.
The climate zone is taken from the site address. A coastal Sydney project and a site further west, or in a hotter or cooler part of New South Wales, are not given the same zone out of habit.
Turnaround is 48 to 72 hours from full drawings after the quote is accepted and the set is complete. A fixed quote is given after the drawings are reviewed. The starting fee is for a straightforward project. A larger floor plate, more than one classification, or an incomplete set is priced before you commit. One minor revision is included. A minor revision is a correction, or a small drawing change that does not add scope. A new tenancy, a different classification, or a redesigned façade is quoted again.
