Built on real experience

BAL Rating SA assessor measuring vegetation setbacks during a site visit in South Australia

With over 15 years of frontline firefighting experience and a Diploma in fire safety, we have a practical understanding of how bushfires behave in real South Australian conditions.

That hands-on knowledge goes into every assessment. We follow AS 3959-2018 and deliver reports that are compliant and accepted by all SA councils and insurers.

Your BAL rating affects construction costs, insurance, and the safety of the people living in the home. We take the time to get it right.
