How we can help you

Our staff’s thorough understanding of the Building Code of Australia and relevant Australian Standards in relation to fire services, combined with strong industry experience of systems installations, allow us to deliver efficient, economical and effective designs that can be easily understood by the design team and authorities alike.

With our extended local association with the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, and our fire services knowledge and reputation, FSD is one of very few recognised Independent Certifiers of fire services installations.



• FSD provides a range of fire protection design and certification services including the following:
• Fire sprinkler and drencher systems
• Fire hydrant and hose reel systems
• Portable fire extinguishers
• Special hazard systems (gas, foam, water mist)
• Smoke detection and alarm systems

• Third Party Independent Certification

Building Information Modelling (BIM) and 3D services design and documentation in Revit is actively adopted to meet our clients requirements

FSD helps to safeguard communities, businesses and the assets we value – by helping our clients with insights into risk and human behaviour, as well as advanced simulation and analysis.

FSD’s advanced approach to fire engineering means that we rise to the challenges posed by all types of structures. Whether providing code consultancy, strategic advice, fire prevention through specialised fire safety design, construction supervision, inspection and risk assessment, or post-fire recovery, our work is grounded in fire science.

An Integrated Approach

Our solutions meet the challenges of the many sectors we work in. Whatever the context, we tailor our response to match clients’ individual objectives – from strategies to manage their fire safety and protection risks and user-friendly management regimes, to construction compliance services that reduce programme delays.

A Pragmatic Approach

Fire safety cannot be understood in isolation. Fire engineering often negotiates a delicate balance between the competing demands of design innovation, sustainability, functionality and fire performance. Our fire specialists regularly tackle briefs that challenge standard fire safety design approaches
