Fire safety is not something to take lightly. Whether you’re constructing a new building, managing a facility, or renovating an existing property, fire risks must be identified, understood, and managed effectively. This is where a fire consultant plays a vital role. At Fyrewise, we provide expert fire consulting services across Queensland and Australia, helping clients meet fire safety requirements, reduce risk, and protect people and property.
With deep knowledge of regulations, fire system design, and emergency planning, our consultants provide clear, practical, and cost-effective advice that supports safe and compliant buildings.
A fire consultant is a professional who specialises in fire safety strategies and compliance. Unlike a fire protection contractor who installs equipment, a fire consultant focuses on planning, analysis, design advice, audits, and risk assessment. Their role is to evaluate fire risks, guide design decisions, ensure compliance with codes, and support the development of fire protection systems.
At Fyrewise, our consultants are experienced engineers and safety specialists who work with developers, architects, building owners, and managers throughout the project lifecycle. From concept to completion, we help you make informed fire safety decisions that meet legal obligations and protect occupants.
Engaging a fire consultant isn’t just about ticking a box for compliance—it’s about building safer environments. Fires can spread quickly, damage property, cause injury, and result in business losses or shutdowns. Prevention, planning, and strong system design are the best defences.
Here’s why working with a fire consultant is a smart decision:
Code Compliance: Fire regulations are complex. Consultants ensure your project meets the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, and local authority requirements.
Risk Management: A fire consultant identifies hidden risks that may be missed during general inspections.
Cost Efficiency: By planning early, fire consultants help avoid costly redesigns or retrofits later in the project.
Custom Solutions: Every building is different. Fire consultants provide tailored advice, especially when standard solutions don’t apply.
Peace of Mind: Having an expert oversee fire safety planning gives clients, occupants, and stakeholders greater confidence.
At Fyrewise, we offer a wide range of fire consultancy services to suit new and existing developments across all sectors. Whether you need a one-time consultation or complete project support, we are here to help.
We create customised fire safety strategies for new developments, refurbishments, and change-of-use projects. This includes:
Initial fire risk assessments
Review of architectural and engineering plans
Identification of code requirements
Recommendations for fire protection systems and materials
Emergency access and egress design advice
We ensure your fire safety strategy is practical, cost-effective, and fully compliant.
When a project cannot meet the “deemed-to-satisfy” requirements of the NCC, we develop performance-based fire safety solutions. These involve:
Fire modelling and simulations
Smoke and heat analysis
Evacuation time assessments
Risk comparisons with standard designs
These reports are prepared in close consultation with building certifiers and fire authorities.
Fyrewise conducts detailed audits of existing buildings to evaluate current fire protection measures and identify areas of concern. Our audits cover:
Fire detection and suppression systems
Fire doors and exits
Evacuation procedures
Signage and emergency lighting
Equipment maintenance records
We provide clear reports with recommendations for upgrades or corrective actions.
For buildings with high occupancy or complex layouts, we prepare thorough fire safety management plans that include:
Evacuation procedures and routes
Fire warden responsibilities
Training requirements
Maintenance and inspection schedules
Coordination with emergency services
These plans are vital for offices, healthcare facilities, schools, aged care homes, shopping centres, and government buildings.
Our consultants work alongside design teams to review architectural, structural, and services drawings. We ensure fire safety features are integrated into the design from the beginning, helping avoid design conflicts or compliance issues later.
During construction, we assist with on-site inspections, system testing, and final certifications. We also liaise with certifiers and fire authorities to ensure approval processes run smoothly.
Fyrewise provides fire consultancy services to a wide range of clients across the public and private sectors, including:
Architects and building designers
