Independent advice on fire protection systems for building owners, body corporates, facility managers and builders across South East Queensland — from design review and compliance assessment through to maintenance regimes and evacuation planning.
We consult on fire systems rather than install them, so the advice you get is about your building — not about what somebody happens to be selling.
Hydrants, hose reels, sprinklers, detection and alarm, emergency and exit lighting, portable extinguishers. Design review, specification and documentation for new work and alterations.
Where a building sits against its obligations under the Queensland Building Fire Safety Regulation, the National Construction Code and the relevant Australian Standards — with the gaps written down plainly.
Routine servicing scoped to AS 1851: what has to be tested, how often, by whom, and what the records need to show. Useful when inspections have drifted or nobody is sure what is covered.
Fire and evacuation plans, evacuation diagrams, instruction and practice evacuation requirements — prepared so occupiers can actually meet their annual obligations.
Assessment of older or altered buildings, remedial scoping, and a staged upgrade path — so spending is prioritised against risk rather than done all at once.
Scopes of work that can be priced fairly, comparison of contractor submissions, and witnessing of commissioning and testing so what was specified is what actually gets installed.
Based in the Scenic Rim and working throughout the south east corner — from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast, and west through Ipswich and the valleys.
Commercial, industrial, retail, residential body corporate, aged care, education and rural properties. If you are outside the areas listed, ask anyway.
We do not sell, install or service the equipment we assess. There is no incentive to find work that is not there, and no reason to overlook work that is.
Findings come with the obligation they relate to, what is required to close them, and a sensible order to do it in — not a list of clause numbers for someone else to decode.
South East Queensland buildings, assessed in person. Desktop reviews have their place, but most of what matters is only visible standing in the plant room.
Whether it is a compliance deadline, a system that keeps failing its tests, or a new build that needs its fire services specified properly — get in touch and describe the situation.
