Australia-Wide Testing

We perform NATA-accredited on-site water spray testing (ATTMA 501.2-15). This ensures your building’s façade can withstand water infiltration, so you can detect workmanship errors or design flaws before water damage occurs.

We simplify compliance for new builds, re-cladding, renovations, and more. Helping you meet standards, or the requirements of your Occupancy Certificate or FP1.4/F3P1 Pathway.

If issues arise, we provide prompt rectification and retesting, keeping your project on track.
