BAL Assess

Planning to build a new home? Did you know - a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Assessment is now mandatory in Australia for all new builds in a bushfire prone area. Or do you have an existing home in a bushfire area – are you interested in assessing the risk your home could be subjected to during a bushfire event?

Introducing your complete Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Assessment tool - BAL Assess.
For the property owner, BAL Assessor, and other organisations.
Available for both iPhone® and iPad® devices.

• When you first sign up, one demo assessment is available.
• A single assessment can be purchased for AU$5.99.
• Or subscribe to BAL Assess for AU$29.99 per month – aimed at BAL Assessors or anyone producing more than 5 assessments per month (fair use applies).

Please note: BAL Assess is intended to be used within Australia only, including all states and territories - it complies with Australian Standard AS 3959-2009 (Incorporating Amendment Nos 1, 2, and 3) - specifically written for Australian conditions.
Although BAL Assess may be relevant in regions outside Australia, the results cannot be considered meaningful nor accurate.

The main features:

• Uses the cloud to store your assessment data - access it from any device.
• Manage your BAL assessment life-cycle from start to completion.
• Uses location services to identify and show a map of the assessment property.
• Add vegetation areas to each assessment - each area specifying the BAL rating.
• Up to 5 photos can be added to each vegetation area. Each photo shows the date/time, location, bearing, and altitude (device dependent).
• For each vegetation area the minimum distance to achieve lower BAL rating(s) is also shown.
• A detailed PDF report can be produced, showing all information relating to the assessment. An Apple® map can be inserted into the report - for iOS 10+ the location and bearing for each photo is shown on the map.
• For BAL Assessors a PDF certificate with their signature is produced.
• The BAL report/certificates can be emailed, or printed to any AirPrint® compatible printer.
• BAL Assess can be used in both offline and online environments, and automatically synchronises when online.
• BAL Assess is multi-user, with two levels of user access - administrator and standard users. Administrators can view all BAL assessments. Standard users can only view the assessments they created.

More features to be rolled-out as BAL Assess evolves - we value your feedback!
