January 2018 – Over the years Fire Check Consultants have continued to take on University Students in the Engineering field who need to complete work experience for completion of their study. We have received great feedback from past work experience students that say we gave them a proper feel for what it is like to work within an engineering office, with real tasks and challenges, not just having them make coffees and do the jobs we don’t want like allot of their University friends experience. In 2017, three students from the University of Queensland have been affiliated with us for basic fire safety engineering program

Year 2017 was a very busy and productive year for Fire Check Consultants. The major projects such as Brisbane Racing Club, Westfield Shopping Centre (Coomera and Chermside Stage 6), CHH, Norfolk Island International Airport, 2PH Farm, Symes Thorpe Toowoomba, Reading Cinema, Westfield Mount Gravatt Library, Rockhampton Mater School, 106 Pacific Pde Bilinga, 27 John St ST Marys (NSW) and many more were dealt successfully. Also, we have engineered hundreds of Class 1 residential performance solutions. Class 1 buildings have evolved from the single detached house on a block, to now coming in all shapes and sizes, to maximise the use of every square metre of space available. In doing so a number of issues arise and buildings may no longer meet the building code (NCC) in a number of areas. Through additional means of protection, the intent of the NCC provisions can be achieved.

July 2017 – We are looking for a Graduate Fire Safety Engineer to join our Brisbane office as our business continues to grow in the sunshine state. Now that we have fully established our business in QLD with significant market share, we are looking to expand our business throughout other states and territories of Australia in early 2017. With this in mind we are also seeking interest from Senior and Graduate Engineers that may be interested in staffing and helping Fire Check Consultants grow in these states. Please head over to our Careers page and submit your Resume.

Year 2015 – We were honoured to receive the Urban Development Institute of Australia (QLD) award for Consultancy Excellency applied to the newly constructed ‘Link Portside’ residential building at Brisbane’s iconic Hamilton cruise port & shopping precinct. This building is very unique in that it consists of a structural steel frame enveloped by fire rated construction. The need for this unique style of construction was needed to overcome the point load restrictions applied to the existing Portside Wharf structure.
