Fire Safety Upgrades
Dealing mainly with clients needs for Fire Safety solutions through required upgrade works, for legal - economic or moral
reasons. We can normally offer various solutions to meet the requirements of the BCA. Assessments can be carried out to current
standards or to 'Code of the day' requirements
Compliance Auditing
Have you had a requirement placed on your business by the local Council. Do you otherwise want to bring the fire safety in
your building up to current standards. We can visit and prepare a full written report on the current standard of compliance
and the necessary works the business requires in order to bring it up to specification. (Current or 'Code of the day')
Fire Safety Solutions
In most cases the Building Codes of Australia will probably offer an acceptable solution to the current problems or lack of
fire safety features. Sometimes however, it may be necessary to implement an 'Alternative Solution' that will not only satisfy
the requirements but also be acceptable to Council. We can work out or engineer alternate solutions that will suit your situation
and achieve full compliance. This is a specialist skill that takes experience and knowledge in application to achieve the
most expedient and effective result.
Annual Certification
Do you need to verify that your buildings existing 'Fire Safety Measures' are still relevant and appropriate. Do you need
verification in order for the building owner to sign-off the annual 'Fire Safety Statement'. We can visit and report on the
current situation allowing the owner to fully comply with Fire Brigade and Authority standing legislation.
Fire Investigation
For insurance, business or personal reasons. We can carry out full fire investigations to structures and vehicles, culminating
in detailed reports of our findings. Our consultants are fully qualified and experienced in this very specialist area. Call
us if you need our services. Complete discretion guaranteed.
