Investor and Developer Services

Supporting SDA Investors and Developers

At SDA Consulting, we specialise in supporting SDA developers, architects, building designers, builders, and investors every step of the way in creating Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) that is high-quality, desirable, and compliant with both building legislation and the SDA Design Standards. Our expertise ensures seamless development processes, regulatory compliance, and lasting value for our clients.

 

Expert Guidance at Every Stage

Whether you’re an investor exploring opportunities or a builder ready to put plans into action, our team of Certified Assessors and SDA Provider professionals is here to guide you throughout the process.

 

Site Selection

A successful SDA project starts with the right location. Our team assists in identifying and evaluating sites based on key factors like accessibility, demand, and compliance. We’ll ensure your development is positioned for success from the outset.

 

Design & Compliance

Getting the design right is crucial for SDA developments. Leveraging our disability access compliance expertise, we work alongside developers, architects, and builders to ensure every design meets the strict SDA Design Standards, Building Code of Australia and referenced Australian Standards. Our process includes:

  • Design reviews focused on creating functional, accessible, and comfortable spaces tailored to the needs of NDIS participants.
  • Issuance of Provisional Certification upon the completion of the design phase.
  • Issuance of Final Certification upon the completion of the build phase.
  • We also provide advice on all relevant accessibility and fire safety standards, ensuring the safety of occupants who may have limited ability to evacuate independently.

Fire Safety Standards

We place a strong emphasis on safety, ensuring all SDA developments adhere to fire safety regulations tailored specifically for vulnerable occupants. Our team meticulously reviews plans and works with builders to deliver properties designed to meet emergency preparedness standards.

 

Full Support During Construction

Our team provides comprehensive inspections and support during construction from project inception to handover. This ensures that your property meets SDA requirements at every stage, resulting in a successful final certification. Our services include:

  • Ongoing on-site inspections during key construction phases include frame inspections, rough-in inspections, and concrete inspections when required.
  • Final Certification is issued upon construction completion to ensure SDA compliance standards are met.

 

Post-Construction Support

Our commitment doesn’t end when construction is complete. For our clients who are not Registered SDA Providers, we can assist with the next steps to bring your SDA property to life, including:

  • Participant Placement: Connecting you with eligible NDIS participants who are perfectly matched to your property.
  • SIL Provider Partnerships: Identifying Supported Independent Living (SIL) partners to effectively manage and support your development.

 

Ongoing Property Management for Long-Term Success

SDA Consulting provides end-to-end property management to ensure strong returns, regulatory compliance, and lasting value. Our ongoing services include:

  • Meeting ongoing regulatory and compliance requirements.
  • Managing the property’s needs to create a safe, welcoming, and high-quality living environment.
  • Offering “Forever Homes” for NDIS participants, fostering continuity and a sense of community.

 

Transform Lives While Achieving Results

By partnering with SDA Consulting, you’re not only creating highly desirable properties but also empowering NDIS participants to live more independent and fulfilling lives. Your investment in SDA isn’t just a business decision—it’s a commitment to a brighter, more inclusive future.

 

Do Investors, Developers or Designers need to be registered as SDA providers?

Investors, developers, designers, builders, and owners of SDA dwellings don’t need to register as SDA providers themselves. The SDA provider is the formal service provider under the NDIS and is responsible for compliance with all mandatory SDA requirements. In most cases, they act under a Head Lease to manage properties. Provider registration is only required if they choose to manage the properties themselves.
