Supporting your project from concept to handover with clear guidance on building approvals, NCC/BCA compliance, accessibility requirements and occupation certification.
Accurate planning. Smooth approvals. Confident delivery.
As trusted Project Planning & Compliance Canberra specialists, INSTU provides end-to-end support to ensure every fitout meets ACT building legislation, complies with the National Construction Code (NCC/BCA), and is delivered safely, efficiently and within programme.
Our service is designed to remove uncertainty from the approvals process, minimise compliance risks and help builders, project managers and tenants move confidently from design to construction to final occupation.
We help clients understand whether their project requires a DA, CDC or building approval pathway. Our team works alongside certifiers, designers and builders to ensure all documentation, plans and technical details align with ACT regulatory requirements.
We review specifications, construction methods and material selections to ensure alignment with fire ratings, acoustic performance, access requirements, structural guidelines and relevant NCC/BCA clauses.
We assist in interpreting DDA requirements for commercial spaces. This includes doorway widths, circulation zones, amenity access, hardware selection and compliant pathways for tenants, staff and visitors.
Our support extends through to final sign-off. We help clients navigate mandatory inspections, as-built confirmation, product compliance and coordinated documentation required for occupation certification.
Our glazed partition systems are ideal for modern workplaces requiring natural light, acoustic separation and a premium finish. INSTU supplies and installs full-height glazing, aluminium frames, safety glass, acoustic laminated glass and integrated door sets. Each system is tailored to the space, ensuring both performance and aesthetic goals are achieved.
We work closely with clients to determine the correct glass thickness, acoustic rating and frame style, helping reduce unnecessary cost while meeting project requirements. Our installation team is experienced in government, corporate, retail and education environments, allowing us to complete work with minimal disruption and consistent finish quality.

As leading specialists in Project Planning & Compliance Canberra, INSTU helps builders, project managers and tenancy owners navigate the increasingly complex requirements of the National Construction Code. Commercial fitouts must balance practicality with strict compliance around fire ratings, acoustic performance, structural allowances, accessibility and essential safety measures. Our role is to ensure your plans and specifications align with the NCC/BCA from the start, preventing costly redesigns or delays later in the programme.
We conduct detailed reviews of wall types, fire-rated systems, acoustic requirements, ceiling structures, door hardware, accessibility provisions and glazing performance to ensure accuracy and compliance. When documentation gaps or inconsistencies appear, we provide clear, actionable solutions that maintain buildability. Working closely with designers and certifiers allows us to anticipate approval needs early, coordinate necessary amendments, and ensure construction progresses without compliance interruptions.
Every project differs, but our goal is the same: create a clear pathway from concept to handover. With local knowledge of ACT requirements and strong relationships with industry professionals, INSTU delivers technical compliance support that keeps projects on schedule while protecting certification outcomes.
Delays in approvals or certification can stall entire commercial programmes. INSTU’s Project Planning & Compliance Canberra service is designed to prevent those delays through proactive planning and coordination. By identifying compliance issues early—such as fire separation needs, incorrect wall types, insufficient accessibility clearances or non-compliant hardware—we help clients avoid last-minute redesigns and variation costs.
Our team supports the full approvals process, including DA/CDC considerations, documentation preparation, certifier coordination and technical clarifications. As construction proceeds, we ensure material selections, installation methods and as-built conditions match what was approved. This alignment is essential for passing the final inspection and securing occupation certification without stress.
Because we understand commercial fitout sequencing, we also help clients schedule inspections at the right time and prepare the necessary documentation. The result is a smoother path to occupation, shorter project durations and fewer compliance-related surprises. With INSTU, clients benefit from practical guidance, clear communication and a compliance-first mindset that protects project outcomes from start to finish.
