BUSHFIRE SPECIFICATIONS

If your development is required to be constructed to BAL 40 or BAL FZ ( Flamezone) there may be systems of constructiion required that are tested to AS 1530.8.1 or AS 1530.8.2.

This means that your Draftsperson's or Architect's design needs to conform with the prototype tested for compliance. This can be quite complex.

Our Bushfire Specification will enable your Draftsperson's or Architect's design to be readily assessed for compliance for your building permit application.We will inspect all smoke alarms to ensure they are operating correctly, test their alarms for proper functioning, and replace any defective parts or components.
