Need a Registered Design Practitioner for Class 2 remedial works? Specialists in declared designs, waterproofing, balcony and roof remediation across Sydney & NSW.

Remedial building work on existing apartment buildings has become one of the most significant areas of regulation under the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 (NSW).

Whether you're repairing leaking balconies, replacing waterproofing, upgrading façades, rectifying structural defects or undertaking fire safety upgrades, understanding when the Design and Building Practitioners (DBP) legislation applies is essential.

The NSW Government recently updated its guidance on remedial building work, providing greater clarity for owners corporations, builders and registered design practitioners.

Many owners corporations, strata managers and builders assume that repair work on an existing building is simply maintenance. However, under the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 (NSW) (DBP Act), many remedial building projects are now regulated and require registered practitioners, declared designs and compliance documentation before work can commence.
