Insulation Inspection Checklist

Permits for Insulation

• No Registration Required: Although a particular type of license is not required to install insulation, make sure you look for local variances and regulations, if any. Seek such information from your local council so as not to face compliance issues.


• Building Code of Australia Compliant: Ensure that the insulation installed by you satisfies all the terms and conditions set by the BCA. This way, you can ensure that the insulation installed at your property will be safe, energy-efficient, and up to code.


• Materials meet the relevant Australian standards: Ensure that the material installed and the installation procedure are according to the relevant Australian standards. This ensures that the insulation which you install is of great quality and gives excellent performance.


• Certified Qualified Contractor: The employer must be a certified qualified contractor who practices installing and managing insulation with experience in handling similar tasks and great reviews.


• Contractor Insurance: A fully insured contractor. This means you are covered in case there are unfortunate accidents or you have damaged property while installation is being done.


• Building License: Ensure that the contractor has a license to build in Australia. This eliminates the factor of illegitimacy since he is authorized and practically must know the laws and regulations of the city.


• Obtain Several Written Quotes: For one company, request several written quotations. Compare their pricing, services, and timelines to make a very informed choice while staying within your budget.


• Adhere to Council Regulations: Make sure that all work is done according to your local council's regulations and permits. This saves one from possible legal or compliance issues down the line.
