Our Expertise

Passive Fire Management, Bushfire Consulting & Project Management

Passive Fire Management & Certification

We specialise in end-to-end passive fire protection solutions, ensuring buildings meet strict safety and compliance standards. Our services include the inspection, installation, and maintenance of passive fire systems such as fire-rated walls, doors, sealants, collars, and fire-stopping materials. We conduct thorough audits and risk assessments, identify non-compliance issues, and provide tailored rectification strategies.

Our certification process is backed by expert knowledge and up-to-date compliance with Australian Standards (AS 1851, AS 4072.1, NCC), giving you confidence that your building is protected and fully certified. Whether it’s new construction, remediation, or ongoing maintenance, we deliver precise, reliable, and fully documented fire safety solutions that stand up to scrutiny.

Bushfire Consulting

We provide expert bushfire consulting services designed to help property owners, developers, and planners navigate bushfire risk with confidence and compliance. Our services include Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessments, bushfire hazard assessments, site-specific risk analysis, and development of Bushfire Management Plans (BMPs) tailored to your location and project needs.

With a deep understanding of local terrain, vegetation classifications, and regulatory frameworks, we work closely with clients to ensure developments meet all relevant planning and building codes, including AS 3959 and state-specific bushfire legislation. Whether you’re at the planning stage or need guidance through compliance for existing properties, our practical, risk-based approach delivers clear, actionable solutions to reduce exposure and improve safety.

Project Management

We provide expert project management services with a dedicated focus on fire compliance, safety systems, and passive fire protection in commercial environments. From initial planning through to certification, we manage every aspect of fire-related projects—ensuring full compliance with Australian Standards, the NCC, and local regulatory requirements.

Our services include coordinating passive fire installations, fire system upgrades, rectification works, and compliance-driven refurbishments. We work closely with contractors, fire engineers, certifiers, and facility managers to deliver solutions that are efficient, fully documented, and built to last.

With deep industry knowledge and a practical, hands-on approach, we streamline complex fire safety projects—ensuring deadlines are met, risks are managed, and every detail is done right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is passive fire protection?

Passive fire protection involves building components and systems designed to contain or slow the spread of fire and smoke. Unlike active systems (like sprinklers), passive fire systems include fire-rated walls, doors, floors, and sealants that help compartmentalize a building during a fire.
Why do I need passive fire certification?

Passive fire certification ensures that your building complies with Australian Standards and the National Construction Code (NCC). Certification confirms that all passive fire systems have been installed correctly, using compliant materials and methods, and helps protect lives and property in the event of a fire.
What does Azzo Project Services provide?

We offer a full range of passive fire services, including consultancy, inspection, certification, reporting, and ongoing compliance support. Our experienced team ensures your project meets all regulatory requirements and performs as designed under fire conditions.
When should passive fire inspections take place?

Ideally, inspections should be conducted at various stages of construction, especially before closing up walls or ceilings. This allows us to verify proper installation and identify issues before they become costly to fix later.
Are your consultants certified or accredited?

Yes, all of our consultants are fully qualified and experienced in passive fire systems. Our director, Mark, is a certified passive fire consultant and a preferred provider with the QBCC, bringing decades of industry expertise to every project.
Do you work on both residential and commercial projects?

Yes, we provide passive fire solutions for a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, education, and health facilities—both in Australia and internationally.
Can you help with code compliance and audits?

Absolutely. We specialize in code compliance and can support you through audits, regulatory inspections, and project documentation to ensure you meet all relevant standards.
What areas do you service?

Azzo Project Services operates across Queensland and the Northern Territory and has experience delivering projects internationally including the Pacific Islands and China.
