The Code on site, cited to the clause

Inspection regimes, variations from approved documents and completion evidence. Ask “What inspections are required before issuing an occupation certificate?” and get the answer with its clauses, for the state and edition the job is built under.

On site

The provision, its clause and the edition that applies, from a phone.

  • Clause lookups on site

    Ask the question from the phone in the trench and get the provision back with its clause, in the edition that applies to the job. Follow-ups keep the context, so the next question is shorter.

  • Inspections before occupation

    Which inspections the approval regime requires before an occupation certificate, in the order they fall, from the state legislation and the Code for the project's jurisdiction.

  • Wet areas and waterproofing

    The NCC waterproofing provisions and the wet-area standard the code references, read together, with the cited answer on which surfaces and heights the provision covers.

  • Stairs and balustrades

    Riser, going and 2R+G checked by the stair calculator against NCC D3D14, Housing Provisions 11.2 and AS 1428.1, and balustrade provisions answered with their clause. The calculators are free and need no account.

On the job

The approved set, the site and the reports, held in one project.

  • Variations against the approved set

    Upload the approved documents to the project and put the proposed change to them, so the answer says what the variation touches in the drawings and in the Code. Plus and Max plans.

  • Site check

    The site check action takes an address, asks the few questions it needs and comes back with the zone, overlays, bushfire exposure, utilities and climate zone as a document in the project.

  • Reports that land in the job

    A compliance report, a checklist or a due diligence review runs in the background and lands in the project, ready to hand to the certifier or the client.

  • Nothing changes without a nod

    When an action would alter project data, the assistant shows what it intends to do and waits. Sharing inside the firm is by role, so the site team can read what the office set up.

“As a builder who regularly checks the National Construction Code, AEC Assistant has made my work much easier. Its summaries are concise, accurate, and include links to the relevant NCC sections, which is perfect for when I want to read the code myself. The responses are quick, saving me time on-site, and the interface is intuitive and easy to navigate.”
