The Building Surveyors Who Actually Care
Performance Solutions, When Standard Paths Don’t Fit
When a project doesn’t meet Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions, we help develop compliant alternatives that still work in practice.

Alternative Compliance Pathways
Not every project fits neatly within the standard provisions of the NCC. You might run into this with design constraints, site conditions, or where the architectural intent pushes beyond typical limits. That’s where our performance solutions come in.
Instead of reworking the design to fit a prescriptive pathway, a performance solution looks at whether the intent of the code can still be met in another way. This usually involves input from fire engineers, building consultants, or other specialists, depending on the issue. At ABDO Building Surveyors we work through these situations alongside your design team. The focus is on building a clear, evidence-based case that shows how the proposed solution meets the required performance criteria. It is less about avoiding the rules and more about applying them differently, without compromising safety or compliance.
Coordinating the Process, End-to-End
Performance solutions tend to involve several moving parts like reports, modelling, supporting documentation and it all needs to line up properly before it can be accepted. We help coordinate that process. That includes reviewing the proposed approach, working with consultants to refine the solution, and making sure the final documentation is clear enough to be assessed without unnecessary back-and-forth.
We also look at how the solution will carry through into construction, ensuring it is practical to build and verify on site.
