Fire safety compliance is not optional — it’s a legal requirement and a life-saving necessity. Outdated, damaged, or non-compliant fire systems can expose building owners and managers to prosecution, invalid insurance claims, and catastrophic loss of life and property in the event of a fire.

Our Fire Compliance Upgrades service delivers end-to-end solutions to bring existing buildings in line with modern fire codes and performance standards. Whether rectifying identified defects from a fire safety audit or undertaking a proactive upgrade, we provide a precise, standards-led approach that covers both active and passive fire protection systems.

1. Comprehensive Fire Safety Audit

We start with a detailed inspection against:

• National Construction Code (NCC) Volumes 1 & 2.
• AS 1851: Routine Service of Fire Protection Systems.
• Fire & Rescue NSW guidelines.
• Manufacturer installation requirements.

This identifies all non-compliance areas, including deteriorated fire-rated assemblies, missing fire stopping, or outdated detection systems.

2. Passive Fire Protection Upgrades

Passive fire protection is about containing fire and smoke long enough for occupants to evacuate and for fire services to respond. Our works include:

• Installing and certifying fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings.
• Fire door installation, maintenance, and certification.
• Penetration sealing using tested and approved fire stopping systems.
• Replacement or repair of fire-rated glazing and frames.
• Rectifying gaps in building junctions to maintain compartmentation.

3. Active Fire Protection Coordination

While we specialise in passive measures, we coordinate seamlessly with licensed active fire system contractors to ensure integrated compliance. This includes:

• Smoke and heat detection systems.
• Sprinkler and hydrant installation or upgrades.
• Emergency lighting and exit signage.

By combining both systems, we ensure full building safety — not just partial compliance.

4. Detailed Upgrade Program

For occupied buildings, fire compliance upgrades require careful sequencing to:

• Minimise disruption to occupants.
• Maintain safe egress routes at all times.
• Coordinate with other ongoing works.

We prepare a staged works plan with clear communication to all stakeholders, ensuring zero compromise on safety during upgrades.

5. Certification & Handover

Upon completion, we provide:

• Certificates of compliance for each element of fire protection.
• As-built drawings showing fire-rated assemblies and penetration seals.
• Updated Fire Safety Schedules (FSS) for council lodgement.
• Maintenance recommendations to sustain compliance.

Outcome:

With Atomic Projects, fire compliance upgrades go beyond ticking boxes. We ensure your building is genuinely safer, fully certified, and positioned to pass future inspections without costly last-minute works.
