Building regulations are an ever-changing and complex issue for property stakeholders.

Existing buildings often do not comply with current fire safety building regulations. These are assessed as high-risk to the occupants of the building, and owners could be forced by local authorities (Council) to conduct compulsory fire upgrades via a Fire Order. We can consult with these local authorities on your behalf and find acceptable resolutions.

For new buildings, Impact Fire can develop performance based fire safety strategies to ensure the architectural, operational and regulatory requirements are met.

We can also design the fire protection system for your building, manage the tender process with appropriate contractors, engage the successful contractor and supervise the works through to certification.
