Cladding Investigations & Façade Design Services
ENSURING COMPLIANCE & SAFETY
Façade cladding is a widely used architectural feature in both low and high-rise buildings. However, certain materials such as aluminium composite panels with combustible polyethylene cores pose a significant fire risk. At Elite Australian Engineering, we specialise in comprehensive cladding investigations to assess compliance, safety, and combustibility risks in accordance with Australian Standards and regulations.
OUR CLADDING SERVICES
Our team conducts assessments of existing cladding systems to determine their compliance with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and other relevant regulations, such as AS1170 and local council fire safety orders.
Our cladding consultancy services include:
Initial Cladding Assessments:
Inspection and review of external cladding to determine compliance with BCA regulations (C1.9 and C1.14) and other relevant safety codes.
Material Testing & Analysis:
Coordination of laboratory testing by accredited third parties to verify combustibility and material composition.
Risk Assessment & Compliance Reporting:
Providing expert reports suitable for regulatory authorities, litigation cases, and insurance compliance.
Remedial Solutions & Recladding Strategies:
