This report presents a Building Code of Australia (BCA) assessment for a proposed commercial development at 23 Singlewell Road, Lake Macquarie, NSW. Commissioned by a developer, the assessment evaluates architectural plans against the 2016 BCA, identifying areas of compliance and non-compliance, and suggesting potential solutions. The report covers key aspects such as fire resistance (Section C), access and egress (Section D), and firefighting equipment (Section E). Non-compliance issues are highlighted, including concerns related to exit travel distances, fire exits, and external wall openings, with recommendations for addressing these issues through alternative solutions or further investigation during the Construction Certificate stage. The report also determines the building's classification, rise in storeys, and type of construction according to the BCA.
