Site inspection and documentation review

Design Practitioner Requirements

The Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 (DBPA) in NSW mandates that registered design practitioners prepare and declare compliant designs for Class 2, 3, and 9c buildings (apartments, boarding houses, aged care). As registered design practitioners, MJ Engineering Projects ensures designs meet Building Code of Australia (BCA) standards, improving construction quality and safety. Before construction, designs must be lodged and approved, ensuring accountability. This regulation strengthens industry standards and protects property owners from defects.

Industry Affiliations

Commercial Remedial Design Practitioner Services

Commercial

Commercial projects require strong technical expertise and strict compliance with regulations. A remedial design practitioner ensures that remedial works for office towers, retail spaces and large complexes are carefully assessed, documented and delivered in line with codes and legislation. Their role includes preparing regulated designs, coordinating with consultants and providing compliance declarations to safeguard the client’s investment.

These services also focus on clear communication between clients, contractors and stakeholders. Practitioners manage design variations, documentation and compliance obligations to minimise risks, delays and disputes. This structured approach provides confidence that remedial projects for commercial buildings progress efficiently and achieve durable, compliant outcomes.

Residential Remedial Design Practitioner Services

Residential buildings, from strata complexes to multi-unit dwellings, require a tailored approach to remedial design. A design practitioner investigates building issues, prepares regulated designs and ensures documentation aligns with the Building Code and statutory obligations. Their expertise supports owners corporations and strata managers by delivering designs that address water ingress, façade deterioration and structural wear.

They also guide communication between residents, contractors and consultants. Practitioners provide design declarations, manage variations and confirm compliance across each stage of the project. By aligning solutions with regulatory frameworks, they ensure remedial works are documented, transparent and legally enforceable, protecting the value and long-term performance of residential properties.
