Cladding Investigation
ENSURING COMPLIANCE & SAFETY
Cladding Systems & Fire Compliance
Facade cladding systems are a key architectural feature in low-rise and high-rise buildings, offering aesthetic appeal, weather protection, and thermal performance. However, certain materials—such as aluminium composite panels (ACPs) with combustible polyethylene cores—pose a serious fire risk and require strict compliance assessments.
At Elite Australian Engineering, we specialize in cladding investigations to assess safety, compliance, and combustibility risks in accordance with Australian Standards and building regulations.
Cladding Compliance & Safety Assessments
Our expertise in cladding audits includes:
✅ Combustibility Testing & Risk Assessment
Identifying hazardous materials and ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations.
✅ Regulatory Compliance Checks
Evaluating facade systems against NCC, BCA, and Australian Standards.
✅ Remediation & Replacement Strategies
Providing safe, durable, and regulation-compliant cladding solutions.
We help builders, developers, and property owners navigate cladding regulations, ensuring their buildings meet fire safety requirements while maintaining design integrity and performance.
