13. The Discussion Paper proposes structural and fire safety review is mandated for buildings with a low to very high building complexity (BC) levels and must be reviewed by an independent third-party reviewer. What elements of the design do you believe must be reviewed by an independent third-party reviewer for each BC level?

Third Party Reviewers
16. Do you agree the independent third-party reviewer can exercise judgement to determine the extent of the review or should this be prescribed for various BC levels?
