Accessibility Performance Solutions
When Deemed-to-Satisfy cannot be achieved, a Performance Solution is a means of achieving the Performance Requirements of the National Construction Code.
Architecture & Access has vast experience in the assessment and documentation of Performance Solutions.
In each section of the National Construction Code (NCC), Performance Requirements are identified. These outline the required outcomes, articulating the intent of the Code. These Performance Requirements can be achieved in three different ways;
- a performance solution,
- compliance with the Deemed-to-Satisfy clauses, or
- a combination of both.
Meeting all the requirements of the Deemed-to-Satisfy clause and its referenced Australian Standards is possibly the most straight forward way of achieving compliance, meeting the Performance Requirements through a performance solution allows innovation and exciting new design options.
In the area of access, by providing the level of access for a person with disability that is not less than the Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) provisions, compliance, through the use of a performance solution, can be achieved.
Architecture & Access collaborates with all stakeholders to develop solutions that not only ensure compliance with the mandatory legislation and standards, but also meet the specific requirements and constraints of each project.
