PEARS®

Portable Elevation Access Rope System

PEARS® safely and efficiently transports personnel, tools, and heavy materials along
building exteriors—without scaffolding.

Power Ascender

THE

Originally developed for military and rescue operations, battery-powered rope ascenders
became commercially available in the mid-2000s. By 2008, CPR pioneered their use in the
Australian building industry, transforming how facade remediation and access challenges
are approached.

A System is Made

After more than 15 years of field use, we’ve built a complete system around the tool:

A defined
methodology

A registered
training
academy

A track record of performance
across hundreds of high-rise
projects

We believe the result is a supercharged access solution where the tool is only part of
the story. Technology alone doesn’t set us apart but rather how we use it.

FAQs

What is the difference between a builder and a building practitioner?

Under the DBP Act, a building practitioner includes a range of professionals involved in various stages of the building process, such as architects, engineers, and designers. Unlike builders, these practitioners often focus on planning, design, and ensuring compliance with technical standards.

Do I need to work with registered Design and Building Practitioners?

Yes, in many cases—especially for remedial works involving waterproofing, cladding replacement, or structural repair on class 2, 3, and 9c buildings.

What is the role of a building practitioner?

Registered building practitioners are responsible for lodging regulated designs and design compliance declarations on the NSW Planning Portal.

If I live in a residential apartment building, what type of building class is it?

Most residential apartment buildings in Australia fall under Class 2 of the National Construction Code.
