Class 2, 3 and 9c Regulated Design —

DBP Act

Apartment projects need a registered design practitioner to declare the design. Many stormwater consultants aren't registered. We are.

What you receive

  • Regulated design documentation for civil and drainage works

  • Design compliance declarations within our registration classes

  • Construction-issued regulated designs

  • Lodgement support through the NSW Planning Portal

  • Design variation declarations during construction

How we do it

  • Prepared by a NSW Registered Design Practitioner — Civil Engineering and Drainage (DEP0002930) and

  • Registered Professional Engineer (PRE0001852)

  • Designs documented to the standard the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 requires, with the

  • compliance pathway stated

  • Coordination with the builder, principal certifier and other declaring practitioners

  • Portal lodgement sequencing managed so construction isn't held up

  • Variations declared as they arise, rather than reconstructed at the end

When you need it

Class 2 buildings and buildings with a class 2 part, including alteration and renovation work. New class 3 and 9c buildings — boarding houses, student accommodation, aged care and residential care — are also captured.
