Regulated Design Documentation
We oversee and coordinate the regulated design process to ensure compliance with the Design and Building Practitioners (DBP) Act. Acting as supervisors during the design stage, we work closely with builders and consultants to keep projects on track and aligned with statutory requirements.
Once construction is complete, we prepare and issue As-Built Documentation to accurately reflect the works delivered, providing a clear record for certification, compliance, and future reference.
Our Role as a Registered Design Practitioner
As a Registered Design Practitioner – Building Design (Medium-Rise), Archi-QS is authorised to prepare regulated designs and make compliance declarations for medium-rise buildings. This includes buildings up to 6 storeys, or 7 storeys if the ground or first level is a Class 7a carpark.
We provide regulated design documentation for a range of building types, including:
-
Low-rise residential apartment buildings
-
Strata townhouse developments (up to 6 storeys)
-
Office buildings up to 6 storeys
-
Student accommodation (5–6 storeys of units)
-
Community facilities such as libraries, childcare centres, and medical clinics
Why It Matters
Engaging a registered Design Practitioner ensures that your designs meet the highest standards of compliance. Proper regulated design documentation confirms adherence to the DBP Act and the BCA, provides assurance for builders, clients, and regulatory authorities, and reduces the risk of disputes, defects, or costly rectification works.
Our Process
- Design Preparation – We develop regulated designs in line with BCA requirements.
- Compliance Declaration – Designs are formally submitted through the NSW Fair Trading portal.
- Verification – Our documentation confirms compliance for construction and project approvals.
