Common questions

Things people usually ask

Do I need a BAL assessment, or will the CFS do it?
New dwellings in the High bushfire hazard overlay are referred to the CFS automatically, and the CFS sets the BAL. We do not charge for a report that would duplicate that. Smaller additions and alterations, outbuildings, building rules consent, Medium land within 100 metres of a High area, insurance and pre-purchase checks need a private assessment. Not sure which you are? Send us your address and we will check for free.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on site complexity and travel distance. We provide a fixed, no-obligation quote within one business day. No hidden extras.
How long does the report take?
Five business days from site visit. Express turnaround available for tight deadlines.
My insurer asked for a BAL report. Can you help?
Yes. Some insurance companies now request a BAL assessment before renewing policies. We provide a compliant report for this purpose.
