WHY USE 10 STAR BUILDING ASSESSMENTS
Our assessors have experience in the construction industry and excellent knowledge of project costs. This allows us to provide recommendations that can meet compliance but use methods that reduce the construction cost of the building. If we identify that the outcome may require an alternative solution, 10 Star Building Assessments can facilitate using advanced modelling software and complete a JV3 assessment.
In our experience, this approach has contributed to construction savings, in some cases above $100k.
