Our Expertise
At Structerre, we understand the importance of protecting lives, property, and the environment in bushfire-prone areas. Our Bushfire Assessment services are designed to identify risks, provide practical recommendations, and ensure compliance with the relevant standards and local council requirements. With bushfire risks becoming a growing concern across Australia, our team works with you to design safe, compliant, and cost-effective solutions.
What is a Bushfire Assessment?
A Bushfire Assessment evaluates the level of risk a property faces from potential bushfires. This includes calculating the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3959 – Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas. The BAL rating determines the construction methods and materials required to reduce risk, helping to safeguard homes, businesses, and communities.
