Home Renovations, Extensions & Building Investigations
At Crossan Building Services, we are a QBCC Licensed Builder committed to delivering confidence, compliance, and quality for every building project. Whether you’re constructing a new home, renovating an existing property, or undertaking a commercial build, our expert team conducts thorough investigations and inspections to ensure every aspect of the work meets the required standards and regulations.
Our Role: Ensuring Building Compliance and Peace of Mind
With years of experience in the building and construction industry, we understand the complexities and responsibilities that come with any construction project. Our core service is to assess and verify that all works—whether structural, aesthetic, or functional—comply with local Council Certification requirements, Australian Standards, and the National Construction Code (formerly the Building Code of Australia).
We work closely with homeowners, builders, developers, and project managers to ensure each stage of the project is compliant—before, during, and after construction.
What We Look At
Our inspections and assessments cover a wide range of building elements, depending on the type and scale of your project. These may include:
- Structural compliance – ensuring load-bearing walls, roof systems, and foundations are constructed correctly and safely.
- Framing, bracing and tie-downs – verification against approved plans and engineering specs.
- Wet area waterproofing – checking membrane installation for bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens meets AS3740 standards.
- Energy efficiency and ventilation – ensuring that thermal performance and airflow meet Section J requirements (commercial) or 6-star energy ratings (residential).
- Fire safety and egress – validating that fire-rated walls, exit paths and alarms meet required codes.
- Drainage and stormwater – assessing if downpipes, site fall and discharge comply with council and code obligations.
- Swimming pool fencing and safety barriers – ensuring pool areas meet stringent safety legislation.
- As-built vs. approved plans – identifying any unauthorised work or deviations from approved drawings.
Why Certification Matters
Non-compliant work can result in costly delays, legal issues, or even the need to demolish or redo works. It can also impact property resale, insurance coverage, and most importantly, occupant safety.
We help identify issues early, assist with rectification strategies, and liaise with certifiers, engineers, and local authorities where needed—saving you time, stress and money.
We partner with:
- Homeowners needing independent inspections during renovations or new builds
- Developers and builders seeking compliance checks before council inspections
- Real estate agents and investors who want peace of mind prior to sale or purchase
- Commercial property managers ensuring ongoing compliance for tenanted buildings
