Fire Investigation

---

Our Fire Risk and Compliance Assessment service provides a systematic evaluation of buildings and operations against applicable fire safety regulations and recognised standards. The assessment identifies fire hazards, non-compliances, and potential risks to life safety, property, and business continuity. Each assessment includes a detailed report. This service supports property owners, developers, and operators in meeting regulatory requirements, facilitating approvals, and reducing fire-related risks. 

Rational Fire Design is a performance-based fire engineering approach used where standard prescriptive requirements are not suitable or achievable. It involves the scientific analysis of fire behaviour, occupant safety, and building performance to develop engineered fire safety solutions tailored to the specific risks of a development. The design demonstrates compliance with regulatory objectives while enabling flexible, practical, and cost-effective outcomes, supported by clear technical justification and approval by the relevant authorities. 

Deemed-to-Satisfy Fire Protection Design follows the prescriptive requirements of applicable building regulations and standards, providing a straightforward and compliant approach to fire safety. This method applies established rules and minimum criteria to ensure adequate protection of life and property without the need for complex performance-based analysis, making it suitable for standard building designs. 

Our NFPA 921 Origin and Cause Fire Investigation service applies a systematic, scientific methodology to determine where and how a fire started. Through detailed scene examination, fire pattern analysis, evaluation of physical evidence, and hypothesis testing, we develop objective and defensible conclusions regarding the origin and cause of a fire. Our findings are presented in clear, evidence-based reports suitable for legal, insurance, and technical purposes.
