I have just used BAL Rating SA to provide me with an BAL Assessment and Report for my proposed development that is going through council. Tim was very punctual, gave a good amount of useful and easy to understand information at our meeting. The report was easy to understand and well setup. I was able to upload the report and send to PlanSA with no problem. It provided me with all the information that they required
