QUALITY   SAFETY   COMPLIANCE

Northern Plains Building Services is a specialist building compliance and safety consultancy focused on the inspection, assessment and documentation of Essential Safety Measures in commercial buildings. Our work is grounded in technical rigour, regulatory accuracy and professional judgement, ensuring building owners, occupiers and managers are supported in meeting their statutory obligations with confidence.

We operate across the full spectrum of building compliance, including Essential Safety Measures inspections, Code audits, Australian Standard inspections and testing and compliance consultancy. Our approach is methodical and evidence‑based, with a strong emphasis on documentation that can withstand regulatory, audit and legal scrutiny.

Our Approach

We adopt a whole‑of‑building approach to safety and compliance. This means understanding how individual safety systems operate not only in isolation, but as part of an integrated building environment. All services are delivered in accordance with the Building Act 1993, the Building Regulations 2018, the National Construction Code and relevant Australian Standards.

Compliance is not treated as a box‑ticking exercise. Each engagement follows a structured process led by a qualified building surveyor, ensuring that identification of safety measures, assessment of compliance and reporting outcomes are technically sound, clearly articulated and aligned with legislative intent.

Professional Leadership

Professional leadership underpins every service delivered by Northern Plains Building Services. The practice is led by a qualified and experienced Building Surveyor with extensive exposure to both public and private sector regulatory environments. This background provides a practical understanding of how building compliance is assessed, reviewed and enforced at a statutory level.

Strong capability in legislative interpretation and regulatory application supports clear, accurate advice, particularly where compliance matters are complex or require careful consideration of statutory obligations. Active engagement within professional building and fire safety networks ensures industry knowledge remains current and informed.
