    Performance Solutions

    Performance Solution Reports, Determinations and Performance-based Compliance

    Performance solutions can be used to provide a more creative and flexible solution. Sometimes, it is not possible to meet the building code prescriptive requirements. Other times, it may not be desirable, or structurally possible. We are experts at problem-solving these issues.

    Building and disability legislation is becoming increasingly complex, and many exemptions and concessions are hidden within these building codes and standards. We help project stakeholders navigate these requirements and provide a clear interpretation of the minimum requirements.
