Smoke Alarms

By Michael Como | February 20, 2021 |

Australian Building Codes require smoke alarms to be installed into new granny flats which are no bigger than 60 sqm here in Sydney, NSW, Australia.  In NSW licenced electricians have to install smoke alarms and self-certify as well. Note the photo is only an example.

I am an NSW licenced building surveyor or basically a building inspector. Yesterday, we received and have to hand the certificate dated and signed by the electrician that the smoke alarm was installed to the building code called  NCC BCA Vol2 2019 and the Australian standard called  AS3786-2014!

This morning, upon inspection we noticed there was no smoke alarm installed and unfortunately had to defect the build accordingly. Well, the smoke alarm will have to be installed to obtain an occupation certificate.

Como Building P/L, Michael Como provides in SYDNEY, an NSW Building Regulations Consultancy service that comprises, Interpretation of NSW legislation relevant to the construction of Class 1 and 10; Issuing: Complying Development Certificates (CDC), Construction Certificates (CC) [after a local council has approved a development], Occupation certificates (OC), Compliance Certificates, NCC Building Code Australia Reports. Engagement for the certification work is on a contract basis.

Also, a pre-purchase property inspection or building inspection by Michael Como may empower you with knowledge about the condition of a property currently or before you buy it and help you avoid future problems and unexpected costs. However, this service can only be conducted if the insurer is on-side, and currently, they are not and as a result, we do not conduct it.

Michael Como is Your Custom Home Builder in Sydney with over 46 years of construction experience, a Master Craftsman sharing innovative Restoration/renovation Ideas. Licensed since 1988. At this stage, I will only carry out building work at a contracted agreed hourly rate.
