Fire Engineering Reports
Performance-based fire engineering reports to demonstrate compliance with the NCC where Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions cannot be met.
Regulatory Approval Support
Support with building surveyor requests, non-compliance items and regulatory approval pathways.
Our Services
Fire engineering support tailored to project approvals, compliance pathways and performance-based design.
Performance Solutions
Development of alternative fire safety solutions to support innovative building designs and achieve NCC compliance.
Construction Phase Support
Fire engineering input during design development, construction and project delivery.
Fire Safety Strategy
Preparation of project-specific fire safety strategies to guide design, approvals and construction.
Peer Review & Assessment
Independent review of fire engineering documentation, performance solutions and supporting compliance pathways.
Common Approval Issues We Help Resolve
Many projects require fire engineering input after a building surveyor identifies a non-compliance, requests further information or requires a performance solution to support the approval pathway.
- NCC non-compliances
- Building surveyor RFIs
- Travel distance issues
- Fire separation and FRL issues
- Protection of openings
- Egress and discharge issues
- Combustible elements
- Regulation 126 review requirements
