🏠 When Should You Get a Bushfire Assessment?

Earlier Than You Think!

Planning to build in a bushfire-prone area? One of the smartest moves you can make is booking your BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) assessment early—before design work is finalised.

Why Early Matters:

✔️ Avoid Costly Redesigns
Your BAL rating affects construction materials and design. Early assessments mean your designer can work to the correct standard from the start.

✔️ Prevent Delays at Council
We often see plans held up because BAL requirements weren’t factored in early. Fixing it later means resubmissions and re-approvals.

✔️ Design Smarter, Build Cheaper
Adding bushfire protection features after design can get expensive. Planning for them upfront saves money and time.

✔️ Ensure Your Builder is Prepared
Early clarity helps your builder quote correctly and avoids surprises during construction.

Best Time to Book Your BAL Assessment:
🔹 After your site survey
🔹 Well before design finalisation or council submission
