- Facade and cladding assessments in Australia have become critically important, especially in the wake of global incidents highlighting the risks associated with non-compliant building materials. These assessments are conducted to ensure that the external coverings of buildings, such as facades and cladding systems, meet strict safety and performance standards set by Australian building codes. The focus is primarily on the fire resistance of these materials, given their potential to contribute to the rapid spread of fire. In response to safety concerns, regulatory bodies have implemented more rigorous testing and certification processes. Professionals in this field evaluate the composition, installation, and condition of the facade and cladding materials to identify any risks and recommend necessary upgrades or replacements. This proactive approach aims to protect lives and prevent property damage by enforcing compliance with the highest standards of fire safety and building integrity.
