Some content references or includes brief excerpts from third-party material (for example, the National Construction Code, Australian Standards, or Victorian Building Regulations).

Acting reasonably, we may suspend or revoke your membership on one or more of the following grounds:
Other than where a ground requires immediate action (such as a security risk or loss of registration), we will give you notice and a reasonable opportunity to respond before revoking your membership. Because membership is free, you may also end it at any time (see Section 16). Where membership is revoked, we keep an audit record under our retention policy (see Privacy Policy).
The fee schedule published to Full members shows our standard member rates for selected Deemed to Perform Consulting consultancy services. Publishing the schedule does not constitute a binding quote or offer.
Standard pricing applies only to projects that meet the standard scope parameters set out in each fee schedule entry. Standard parameters typically address matters such as:
Where a project does not meet the standard parameters, we will tell you before commencing work and provide a custom written quote.
Projects that fall outside the standard fee schedule — including but not limited to multi-stage projects, projects involving multiple or interdependent performance solutions, projects requiring significant regulatory interpretation, commercial classes, dispensation applications, and bespoke consulting work — are quoted on a custom basis under our consultancy engagement terms.
If you require changes to a performance solution, report, or other deliverable after we have issued it — including changes arising from later design modifications, additional supporting information, scope changes, regulator feedback, or post-issue review requests — those changes are treated as a separate scope of work and are subject to a review fee quoted at the time. Review fees are in addition to the original engagement fee and are not covered by the published standard pricing.
All engagements (standard or custom) are subject to a written quote from Deemed to Perform Consulting and your written acceptance under our consultancy engagement terms, which are provided separately at the time of quote. Fee schedule entries are indicative of price; they are not a substitute for an engagement.
Partner consultants listed in the directory are independent businesses. We don’t manage their work, set their prices, or guarantee their performance. When you engage a partner you contract directly with them under their own terms. We are not a party to that engagement, take no commission, and accept no liability for it.
When we describe a partner as “vetted”, we mean only that we have an existing professional relationship with them and consider them a credible referral. It is not a warranty, certification, or endorsement of their qualifications, conduct, fitness, insurance, or the quality of any work they perform. You should make your own enquiries before engaging any partner.
Partner consultants quote independently. We do not coordinate or standardise pricing across partners.
DTP Insider is provided free of charge and as is. To the maximum extent permitted by law:
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, consequential, or special losses arising out of or in connection with the service (including loss of profit, business, opportunity, or reputation). Nothing in this clause excludes liability that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law.
In relation to Deemed to Perform Consulting’s professional services (including any engagement entered into via the member fee schedule): Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Member — Australian Institute of Building Surveyors Professional Standards Scheme.
You agree to indemnify Deemed to Perform Consulting against any claim, loss, or damage to the extent it is caused by your misuse of the service or your breach of these Terms (including the content licence in Section 7). This indemnity does not apply to the extent the loss is caused by our own act or omission, and is subject to your rights that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
You can end your membership at any time by emailing hello@deemedtoperform.com.au or using the controls in your account. We will close your account on the next business day. Audit records are retained as set out in the Privacy Policy.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify members of material changes by email at least 14 days before they take effect. If you don’t accept a change, you may end your membership before it takes effect at no cost (see Section 16). Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. The courts of Victoria have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your membership.
