Our expert team deliver fire-engineered performance solutions to help you navigate compliance pathways while optimising fire safety design and building functionality.
Focusing on alternative performance pathways, we uncover efficient ways to meet or exceed compliance requirements, reduce risk and respect your project’s creative vision.
Our comprehensive local knowledge of fire regulations and decades of project experience enable us to understand which building designs will be approved by authorities and fire brigades.
Our fire performance solutions provide alternative approaches to meet or exceed compliance while enhancing the overall building design.
We work closely with architects and developers to establish an overall fire safety strategy. Starting with concept design and continuing through to final inspection, we ensure regulatory compliance and optimised fire safety.
We liaise with local fire brigades and the Authority having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to ensure your fire safety measures meet local requirements, smoothing the approval process and reducing project risk.
Effective fire safety measures save lives by ensuring safe exit routes and reducing the spread of fire.
Addressing fire safety issues upfront reduces the risk of costly revisions and delays in the approval and construction process.
Minimise the risk of fire damage to buildings and assets through expert fire safety engineering.
With performance-based strategies, you can push architectural boundaries without compromising safety.
We provide expert guidance to ensure your project meets or exceeds fire safety standards, facilitating smooth regulatory approval.

DDEG delivered compliant fire safety solutions during construction, including fire-rated compartments and alternative egress paths to maintain patient and staff safety.
Through close collaboration with stakeholders, we ensured operations remained uninterrupted while meeting all fire safety requirements.
Fire safety engineering applies engineering principles and technical analysis to develop a strategy that protects people and property from fire, ensuring buildings meet or exceed safety standards.
A fire engineering consultant provides specialist advice and performance-based solutions, helping you achieve compliance, preserve your design vision and avoid costly delays.
The earlier, the better. Involving a fire engineering consultant at concept or schematic design stage helps identify compliance pathways, avoid costly redesigns, and unlock innovative solutions that align with your vision and regulatory requirements.
Performance-based solutions use advanced analysis and modelling to demonstrate that your building meets the National Construction Code’s performance requirements, even when prescriptive rules don’t fit or are overly onerous.
Our performance-based fire engineering solutions allow you to achieve compliance without compromising on design intent. Our techniques justify alternative solutions, helping you retain ambitious architectural features or achieve cost-effective construction while streamlining the approval process.
We offer a full range of services, including fire safety audits, risk analysis and modelling, performance-based design reports, fire brigade consultation and peer reviews. Our consultants are experienced in all fire protection strategies.
Our team has extensive knowledge of local and national codes, and we maintain strong relationships with building surveyors and fire authorities. We prepare robust, regulator-ready documentation and proactively engage all stakeholders to ensure smooth approvals.
Our fees are very competitive and tailored to the complexity and requirements of your project. We provide clear, upfront proposals with no hidden costs, and we’re always happy to discuss options to suit your budget and timeline.
