Why Choose an ABSA Accredited Assessor?

Anybody can complete a BASIX certificate. There is no knowledge pre-requisites, licensing or insurance requirements. This decision was made by the NSW Department of Planning under building industry pressure to cut red tape and certification fees involved in new development applications.

As a result, many homeowners and developers are achieving their NatHERS pass mark and certification by using either the Rapid method which sets simple non-flexible standards for the dwelling or the DIY method which has minimum insulation, a non-flexible window glazing assessment and a non-flexible wall construction type. The sad reality is that they are most likely unaware that the commitments they are making using these methods may potentially result in many thousands of dollars in un-necessary upgrades in the building process.

As an ABSA Accredited Assessor, BASIXMAX provides building thermal performance assessments with the use of 2nd Generation software, AccuRate. This software is flexible, allowing many choices about how to meet the required star ratings, including individually selecting suppliers and products to suit your project, rather than the pre-defined system choices.

BASIXMAX can provide you with an AccuRate Certificate for your NatHERS Certifications required for all Development Applications.
