Class 2 Residential Capability

ATLR provides specialist BCA advice for Class 2 residential projects, including apartments, mixed-use developments and multi-residential buildings. These projects often involve complex interactions between fire-resisting construction, separation, access, and design efficiency, particularly where architectural intent pushes beyond standard Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions.

Our capability includes:

• BCA compliance assessment for Class 2 and mixed-use buildings

• Fire-resisting construction and Class 2 / Class 7a / Class 5 & 6 separation

• Access compliance including the ABCB Livable Housing Design Standard

• Performance Solutions for variations to Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions

• Coordination with design teams to resolve compliance issues while retaining design intent

• Practical engagement with certifiers and authorities

This capability is critical in Class 2 projects, where compliance decisions directly impact yield, construction cost, and overall building efficiency.
