BCA Consultants

What BCA Consultants does

BCA Consultants is a privately held, multi-disciplined building services engineering and building compliance consultancy headquartered in West Perth, Western Australia, operating across ten integrated disciplines: mechanical, electrical, fire protection, hydraulics, sustainability/ESD, lighting design, fire safety engineering, ICT and communications, building surveying, and Building Information Modelling. The firm serves commercial property developers, architects and design teams, construction companies, government and public-sector clients, the Western Australian education sector (notably Curtin University), and resource/mining operators including BHPB, Rio Tinto, FMG, and Gorgon. Notable projects span landmark retail and mixed-use developments (Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City, Old Swan Brewery, Claremont Quarter, IKEA, Crown Entertainment Complex, Swan Bell Tower) and remote Pilbara facilities including the Karijini National Park Visitors Centre.

The firm's technology stack centres on Building Information Modelling (BIM) using Revit, Navisworks FDS, and 3DS, delivering Level of Development (LOD) 100–350 models, clash detection and reporting, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fire and smoke modelling, and 3D visualisation and rendering. Engineering deliverables are produced by Registered Level 1 Building Surveyors, licensed plumbers, and NABERS/GreenStar-accredited professionals, allowing the company to issue certificates of design, construction, and compliance, deliver performance-based fire safety engineering, and execute private certification across all building classes. The company has won 14 industry awards between 2001 and 2013 from bodies including the Property Council of Australia, Master Builders Australia, the Australian Institute of Architects, and the International Property Awards.

The business is a professional services model with revenue generated through project-based, custom-quoted engineering consulting engagements. Projects are secured through repeat client relationships, industry networks, and professional reputation rather than through pricing transparency or intermediary channels; no public pricing or subscription tiers are disclosed. Operating geographies are confined to Western Australia (Perth metropolitan area and Pilbara), and ownership is held by a five-person executive team (Tony Richards, Graham McShane, Warren Levisohn, Chris Meisinger, Darrel Grant) following a 2013 management buy-back from publicly listed VDM Group. The company maintains a headcount of 11–50 employees.
