Who It's For
codereview.au is designed for architects, building designers, and building certifiers who want early visibility into National Construction Code compliance issues — before they become costly problems. We identify likely Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) departures so you can address them before formal assessment.
Primary Audiences
Architectural practices produce complex plan sets across multiple building classes. Compliance issues identified late — at DA assessment, CC stage, or during construction — drive rework, redesign, and costly delays.
codereview.au gives architects early visibility into likely DTS departures, so compliance can be addressed while plans are still being developed, not after they've been submitted.
Identify likely departures before submitting to a certifier
Reduce rework from late-stage compliance findings
Scope Performance Solution requirements early for budget clarity
Pre-submission compliance check
Review plans before lodging with a certifier to identify and address likely departures early.
Performance Solution scoping
Understand which Performance Solutions are likely required and budget for them before design is locked.
Multi-class project review
Review complex mixed-use projects across multiple building classifications in a single upload.
Building designers working across residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects need confidence that their documentation addresses National Construction Code requirements before formal assessment.
codereview.au provides a structured first pass across the provisions most likely to produce issues — saving time, reducing certifier queries, and improving documentation quality from the start.
Improve plan documentation quality before formal assessment
Understand National Construction Code requirements across different building classes
Reduce back-and-forth with certifiers on common compliance gaps
Residential design compliance
Review Class 1 and Class 2 dwellings for common DTS departures before documentation is finalised.
Documentation gap identification
Surface missing notation, incomplete schedules, and ambiguous details that slow down assessment.
Energy and wet area compliance
Catch common energy and waterproofing notation issues that are frequently flagged during formal review.
Building certifiers handle high volumes of plan assessments. codereview.au provides a structured first-pass review that surfaces likely DTS departures and identifies where Performance Solutions may be required.
The output is designed to complement — not replace — your professional assessment. It gives you a structured starting point and helps identify issues that may otherwise require extended review time.
