Fire Safety Engineer

At The DESIGNFIRE, our fire safety engineers are dedicated to providing comprehensive fire safety solutions that protect lives and property. With a deep understanding of fire dynamics, building codes, and human behavior, we develop innovative strategies that ensure the highest level of fire safety for buildings across New Zealand.

Our team of experienced fire safety engineers works closely with clients, architects, and other stakeholders to create tailored fire safety designs that seamlessly integrate with the overall building design. By taking a proactive approach and identifying potential risks early in the process, we deliver cost-effective solutions that meet and exceed regulatory requirements.

The Importance of Fire Safety Engineering

Fire safety engineering plays a crucial role in the design and construction of buildings, as it focuses on minimizing the risk of fire and its potential consequences. A well-designed fire safety system considers factors such as:

  • Building layout and occupancy
  • Fire prevention and detection
  • Smoke control and evacuation
  • Passive and active fire protection measures
  • Emergency response and firefighting access

By addressing these elements, fire safety engineers help to create safer buildings that prioritize the well-being of occupants and minimize damage to property in the event of a fire.

our clients

“There are 81 units being developed on the site; the majority of the units are terraced houses. We are proud of the scale of the project and the opportunity it brings for new home buyers to get onto the property market. We needed a fire report for our development Building Consent application.

The site was pretty tight with lots quite near to each other; THE DESIGNFIRE was quick to respond to our enquiry and forthcome with a strategy to get the documentation together in line with our Building Consent lodgement target dates. They listened to our needs and were finding ways to make the process efficient.

THE DESIGNFIRE was very responsive and willing to assist in clarifying matters with the structural engineer and architect to deliver their outputs. We are very happy with the result.”

—Mante Masela, Kingston Property

“My name is Farzbod Taefi. I am the director of Skills Update Training Institute. About five years ago, in conjunction with NMIT, we purchased a site on 42 Upper Queen Street. This building needed a lot of renovation and make-over.

We found them very flexible and receptive to our comments and ideas. I think it was the winning card for us as the client. Getting the permits through the council is not an easy task. They had good contacts in the council, they were well known to the council, and that really speeded up the process. I think if we’ve chosen another group, this project may have taken twice as long. We have recommended THE DESIGNFIRE to many people and referred them to Louie. You know the sample of his work is here, and people can see what they can get.”

“THE DESIGNFIRE and their team of various expertise helped us to complete our Complex commercial building, involving multi-tenancy occupancy. THE DESIGNFIRE team came up with a resolution which was cost-effective and workable. Without THE DESIGNFIRE, we would have a difficult time completing it.”

—Paul Singh, Director, APL Windows

“With a long relationship with THE DESIGNFIRE, they have a strong background on fire engineering as well as precise design and consultation. Happy working with them and willing to do other projects together again.”

—Jae Hyun

“Louie has been a precious asset in developing fire engineering for our second dwelling project. His price was very reasonable, his communication prompt and helpful. I would recommend him and use his services again.”
