Just letting you know that after the long weekend we are back hitting the ground running.

Need any planning or building code advice?

Any council issues?

Need an old approval finalised?

Are we the real deal?

Here is another real testimonial from another happy client.

“I was put onto Nat Andrews and Certifiers2U by my solicitor, as she was concerned there were some possible issues with a property I was looking to purchase at auction. I knew Nat from my dealings with him when he worked for Council.

He’d always been a delight to deal with – someone who was genuine and helpful. Nat’s been amazing in his assistance around this recent property investigation. He’s gone above and beyond on every level – not just in the lengths he’s gone to in order to obtain the information we needed, but also in his availability at short notice each time I had a question.

His report allowed me to attend the auction with my eyes wide open, and to know the hidden costs that the successful bidder was going to be up for. Nat made me feel like an important and valued client – 5 star service at its best!”

We also get pressured from clients to ‘just sign off’ approvals, inspections and projects that are incomplete and / or non-compliant.

Our decision making process is to comply with the required legislation, approvals, codes and plans and not get pressured into doing something that we would later regret.

The NSW government is looking into the past decisions (up to 10 years) made by certifiers.

There is no excuse for accepting something that does not comply. Or signing off a project that is incomplete.

We stand firm with our decisions using our knowledge and experience and do not sign anything off that we are not comfortable with.

Building contractors and clients are not registered certifiers so we do not let them influence our decision making progress.

So if you are trying to do the right thing we can give you the best customer service and ensure anything is compliant.

If you are trying to influence us to do the wrong thing we guide to the right and compliant process.

Servicing the Northern Rivers.

We are one of the top rated building related businesses in the Northern Rivers.

Consulting. Planning. Certification.

They are closing ranks and have refused to provide us with test reports for several products and product lines.

Our usual process is to identify the product and email the manufacturer requesting a test report to the relevant standard for that product. Sometimes the manufacturer requests we get the information directly from the testing company.

The closing ranks might have something to do with the astonishing fact that many of the test reports we have recently received indicate that the product still somehow ‘complies’ even when one or more elements that make up the product has never been tested for compliance. And the fact that we have advised the testing companies of this.

Therefore, without evidence of compliance of all elements of these products and with no intention of any of the manufacturers wishing to use performance solutions, we simply cannot approve the use of these products in any buildings we approve, inspect and certify.

These manufactures appear to continue to sell their products knowing that they do not comply.

We are aiming to do the best job we can for our clients, our business and the community.

We will continue to stand up to companies large and small to ensure they are accountable to all inside and outside the construction industry.

Popular in the ’80s, they seem to be making a comeback.

They appear to vary significantly across the construction industry. We have only ever seem them tested in concrete and masonry walls.

Of concern in many of the tests under AS1530.4-2014 is the need to fill the cavity between the block and block framing with fire rated expansion material. How can this be?

We know expanding ‘fire rated’ foam generally does not achieve its intended purpose.

Are the fire rated glass blocks once installed being tagged similar to fire windows?

The BCA definition of a window includes glass block or brick or other device which transmits natural light directly from outside a building to the room concerned when in the closed position.

We recently came across an industrial building with an opening within 3m of the boundary of glass blocks in a concrete tilt up wall. There was no tag on the window or framing and the opening was not recorded in the fire safety statement as a fire window. That is a problem.
