PROJECTS
What is a Design Practitioner?
A design practitioner is responsible for making design compliance declarations – they declare that designs comply with the Building Code of Australia and other relevant standards.
A registered design practitioner needs to prepare regulated designs when there is building work on a class 2, 3 or 9c building, which involves a building element or a performance solution. This applies for new and existing class 2 buildings.
'Design practitioner - structural engineering' class is authorised to prepare regulated designs and make compliance declarations in relation to the understanding, prediction and calculation of the stability, strength and rigidity of built structures, and how structures and buildings resist and transfer natural and other forces. - Fair Trading NSW
Design and Building Practitioners Act Explained.
The Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 was established to raise the standards of building design and building work.
The Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 generally applies to remediation works that impact a building’s structure, waterproofing, cladding, or other key building elements. This means projects such as balcony or roof waterproofing, balustrade replacement, façade repairs, and concrete remediation will usually fall under the DBP Act. Routine maintenance or minor works like plumbing, electrical, or non-structural fit outs are typically excluded.
