Annual Certification

Every Australian State and Territory has implemented distinct and intricate fire safety regulations with the objective of guaranteeing that building owners or their representatives uphold the fire and life safety systems in a state that ensures their functionality during emergencies. Subsequently, to validate that a maintenance regimen is in place and that the operational performance of these fire and life safety installations meets the required standards, building owners or their representatives are required to issue an Annual certification(AESMR/FORM-3/AFF/OS).

System Interface Testing(SIT)

The key element in complex buildings like high rise buildings, shopping centres, age care centres etc.  is the seamless interaction of various fire safety systems, such as fire detection system, sprinklers, hydrants, lifts, smoke control, automatic doors, and emergency lighting etc. Where fire protection systems are interfaced to other systems, end-to-end tests shall be continued to confirm that each interface operates in accordance with the approved design. 
Why is it Essential?

  • Compliance: Adhering to AS1851 and AS1668 is mandatory for building owners and facilities managers.

  • Life Safety: In the event of a fire, system communication failures or miscommunications can lead to delayed responses or even catastrophic consequences.

  • Property Protection: Beyond life safety, well-coordinated systems minimize property damage by containing and suppressing fires effectively.

  • Business Continuity: For commercial properties, an effective fire safety system can ensure business continuity by reducing downtime and protecting assets.

National Building Compliance oversees and manages Fire System Interface Testing and Full Function Fire Testing. This comprehensive process involves:
  • Arranging pre-test meetings with all contractors and crafting a test program to ensure testing is carried out with maximum efficiency and minimal disruption.
  • Coordinating the presence of all pertinent contractors.
  • Providing supervision and guidance to contractors during testing, and independently observing system functionality.
  • Compiling detailed reports on the outcomes of the system interface testing.
SIT is the linchpin of a robust fire safety strategy. It not only ensures compliance with Australian standards but, more importantly, it plays a pivotal role in protecting lives and property. Let's make your buildings safer, all systems GO.

Project Management

Our project management service is tailored to support clients from the initial concept design phase through to the successful execution of projects. We provide comprehensive technical assessments and guidance across various building engineering disciplines. This encompasses tasks such as tender programs, Resolution of building Notices, cause and effect matrix, Fire services upgrades and retrofits, and Engineering solutions to complex problems. 

We step in to handle the administrative and managerial aspects of projects, whether they are small or large, intricate or require substantial labor. This alleviates a significant time burden for our clients, allowing them to focus on other critical aspects of their responsibilities.

Combustible cladding assessment

  • Aluminium Composite Cladding (ACP): Lightweight material used in building cladding and signage, comprised of inner and outer aluminium layers with a potentially flammable core. Often used decoratively in medium to high-rise buildings.

  • Expanded Polystyrene (EPS): Construction method involving attaching polystyrene to a framework but is highly combustible and emits toxic fumes when burned.

  • Regulations: The building Code of Australia (BCA) sets safety standards for construction materials, though ACP and EPS may not always meet these requirements.

  • Fire Risk: Extensive use of ACP or EPS poses higher fire risk, especially in multi-story or balconied buildings.

  • National Building Compliance’s Approach: Systematic investigation of Combustible Cladding, offering risk mitigation strategies and a clear path to resolution. Includes lab testing, borescope inspection, risk identification, cost estimation, and rectification plan.

  • Final Report: Provides conclusive assessment of cladding risk. NBC facilitates owner representation and liaises with authorities.
