Does it flag state variations to the NCC?

Yes. Select your state or territory on the project and SwiftGuide notes where the NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT or NT variations change the base NCC requirement.

Which Australian Standards does it reference?

The standards the NCC calls up for your trade — including AS 2870, AS 1684, AS 3600, AS 1562.1, AS 4678, AS 2047 and AS 3959 — cited by clause.

Can I switch a project to another country's code?

Yes — the Pro plan includes global code switching across Australia's NCC, US IBC/IRC, UK Building Regulations and Canada's NBC.
