Issue your DCD in minutes, not hours.
DBPA Shield is the missing piece between "design complete" and "DCD lodged". Upload your regulated designs. AI fills the Design Compliance Declaration. You sign, log, and store every declaration you've issued — for every project.
Upload your regulated designs
Reports, drawings, specifications. Files missing a title block get one stamped automatically.
AI fills the DCD
Document schedule, declarations, BCA references — extracted from your uploads. Review, edit, issue.
Every DCD logged
Per-project view shows every declaration you've issued. Variations link back to their parent. Audit-ready.
Designed for NSW design practitioners
Aligned with the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 (NSW), the DBPR 2021, and Schedule 4 Code of Practice. Built by a practitioner who has issued these declarations themselves.
