Fire safety is a legal requirement—and a moral responsibility—for every building project and facility. Whether you’re constructing a new development, renovating an existing space, or managing a complex facility, fire safety should be part of the plan from day one. That’s where a professional fire consultant comes in.

At Fyrewise, we provide independent, expert fire consulting services across Queensland and beyond. Our team works closely with architects, developers, building owners, and facility managers to help them meet fire safety regulations, reduce risk, and protect lives and property.

What Does a Fire Consultant Do?

A fire consultant is a qualified expert who helps clients design, assess, and manage fire safety in buildings. Unlike fire contractors who focus on installation, fire consultants offer strategic advice, technical assessments, and compliance solutions. Their work includes:

• Reviewing building designs for fire safety
• Recommending fire protection systems and materials
• Conducting fire risk assessments and audits
• Preparing performance-based solutions and reports
• Supporting compliance with local laws and the National Construction Code (NCC)

At Fyrewise, our consultants use technical knowledge and local experience to create clear, effective fire safety strategies tailored to each client’s project.

Why Fire Consulting Matters

Fires can cause devastating damage to property and human life. In many cases, the impact of a fire could have been prevented or reduced through better planning and system design. A fire consultant helps you identify potential risks early and design safety into your project—before problems arise.

Here’s why engaging a fire consultant is a smart investment:

• Compliance Assurance: The NCC and Australian Standards are complex. A fire consultant ensures your project follows the right codes and avoids delays in approval.
• Tailored Strategies: No two buildings are the same. Consultants develop fire solutions based on your building’s size, function, layout, and risk profile.
• Risk Reduction: We help you identify and eliminate fire hazards before they become liabilities.
• Design Support: Consultants work with design teams to ensure fire safety is considered during architectural and engineering planning.
• Peace of Mind: With professional guidance, you can be confident that your building is both safe and compliant.

Fire Consulting Services by Fyrewise

Fyrewise offers a full range of fire consulting services across Brisbane and regional Queensland. Whether you need a single report or complete end-to-end support, we tailor our services to your project’s needs.

1. Fire Risk Assessments

We conduct detailed fire risk assessments for new and existing buildings. These reports evaluate:

• Occupant risk
• Potential fire sources
• Evacuation routes
• Fire protection system coverage
• Compliance with NCC and AS1851 standards

Our assessments identify issues early and provide practical solutions to address them.

2. Design Reviews and Strategic Advice

Fyrewise works alongside architects and engineers to review fire safety elements during the design phase. We help integrate:

• Fire detection and suppression systems
• Passive fire protection (e.g., fire-rated walls and doors)
• Emergency lighting and exit paths
• Smoke control and ventilation systems

Early design input from our consultants helps reduce costs and avoid rework during construction.

3. Performance-Based Fire Engineering Reports

In cases where a building does not meet the standard “deemed-to-satisfy” criteria in the NCC, we provide performance-based fire engineering solutions. These reports rely on fire modelling, risk analysis, and expert judgment to prove that safety goals are still met.

This service is especially useful for:

• Unique building layouts
• Open-plan commercial spaces
• Heritage-listed properties
• Mixed-use developments

4. Fire Safety Audits and Compliance Reviews

Our consultants assess existing buildings to ensure fire safety systems are functional, well-maintained, and compliant with current regulations. These audits are ideal for:

• Annual safety reviews
• Insurance assessments
• Property sales and leases
• Change of use or tenancy

We provide a full report with clear, step-by-step recommendations.

5. Fire Safety Management Plans

For complex buildings or high-occupancy facilities, we prepare fire safety management plans that include:

• Evacuation procedures
• Fire warden training and roles
• Maintenance schedules for fire systems
• Emergency services coordination

This service is especially valuable for aged care facilities, hospitals, schools, shopping centres, and high-rise buildings.

6. Construction and Certification Support

Fyrewise supports clients throughout the construction and handover process. We offer:

• Technical advice during system installation
• On-site inspections
• Certification documents such as Form 16
• Liaison with certifiers and authorities

Our support helps keep your project moving forward without costly delays or rework.
