Professional Fire Engineering Solutions
Expert design and compliance for fire safety systems
Understanding Fire Engineering Services
Fire Engineering is the application of engineering principles, rules, and professional judgment to protect people and property from the effects of fire and smoke. We partner closely with architects and investors from the earliest concept stages, ensuring that fire safety, escape strategies, and passive fire protection are seamlessly integrated into the design.
By addressing requirements early, we provide feasible, cost-effective solutions that not only meet regulations but also optimise project outcomes. Our insight allows us to guide architects and investors toward design strategies that are both creative and achievable, reducing the risk of delays or costly redesigns.
Our comprehensive fire engineering services include:
- Fire engineering reports and assessments
- Alternative fire safety solutions
- Evacuation modeling and analysis
- Fire safety system design
- Compliance verification and documentation
- Council liaison and approval support
Council Experience Advantage
Our fire engineers bring extensive council experience, understanding exactly what will be acceptable, practical, and effective in real-world approvals. This insight reduces delays and costly redesigns.
Early Integration & Cost Optimization
By partnering with architects and investors from concept stages, we ensure fire safety is seamlessly integrated, providing feasible, cost-effective solutions that optimise project outcomes.
Our Comprehensive Fire Engineering Process
The result is safer, more efficient, and value-driven buildings — helping clients save time, reduce costs, and unlock the full potential of their developments. Our approach is carefully tailored to each project, beginning with comprehensive fire safety assessment and developing innovative alternative solutions that optimize safety outcomes while providing design flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
Fire Engineering Frequently Asked Questions
What is fire engineering and when do I need it?
Fire engineering is the application of engineering principles to protect people and property from fire. You need fire engineering when your building design doesn't comply with the standard Building Code requirements, when you want alternative fire safety solutions, or when councils require specialist fire engineering reports for complex projects.
What types of buildings require fire engineering reports?
Fire engineering reports are commonly required for commercial buildings, multi-story residential developments, complex building designs, buildings with unique layouts or uses, and projects where standard fire safety solutions aren't feasible or cost-effective.
How can ProjectX help with fire engineering compliance?
ProjectX provides comprehensive fire engineering services including fire safety assessments, alternative solution designs, fire engineering reports, evacuation modeling, and ongoing compliance support throughout the building consent process.
What is an alternative fire solution and why would I need one?
An alternative fire solution is a fire safety design that differs from the standard Building Code requirements but achieves equivalent or better fire safety outcomes. These are often more cost-effective and practical for complex or unique building designs.
How long does a fire engineering report take to complete?
Fire engineering report timelines vary depending on project complexity, but typically range from 2-6 weeks. Simple residential projects may be completed faster, while complex commercial buildings require more detailed analysis and documentation.
Can ProjectX assist with fire engineering outside Auckland?
Yes, ProjectX provides fire engineering services throughout New Zealand. Our experienced fire engineers work with councils nationwide and understand regional requirements and variations in fire safety standards.
What's included in your fire engineering service?
Our comprehensive fire engineering service includes initial fire safety assessment, alternative solution design, detailed fire engineering reports, evacuation modeling, council liaison, and ongoing support through the building consent and construction phases.
