A BASIX consultant reviews a proposed residential development, identifies the appropriate assessment pathway and prepares the information needed to generate a BASIX Certificate for a New South Wales planning or approval application.

The role can include reviewing architectural plans, entering water and energy information, coordinating the thermal-performance assessment, testing practical design changes and checking that the resulting BASIX commitments are consistent with the project documentation.

A BASIX consultant does not approve the development or replace the architect, engineer, builder or certifying authority. The consultant’s role is to prepare and coordinate the sustainability assessment information required for the proposed residential project.
