The Building Sustainability Index – BASIX is a tool to ensure all residential buildings in NSW achieve a minimum standard or water, thermal comfort and energy efficiency. A BASIX certificate is required when building approvals are submitted at the DA stage. A BASIX Compliance Certificate is also mandatory for all Alterations and Additions where the renovation work is valued at $50 000 or more – or involves a pool/spa installation with a total volume greater than 40,000 litres.
David Howard is fully informed of the current regulations and very experienced in the process having completed over 4,300 BASIX Certificates. David takes pride in working with clients to ensure they achieve the best, cost-effective solutions.
