Our Fire Protection and Engineering Services

Omnii delivers end-to-end fire safety solutions across Australia, including performance-based fire engineering design, fire protection system engineering (sprinklers, hydrants, detection, and alarms), fire risk assessments, smoke hazard management, passive fire protection consulting, and ongoing building compliance audits.

Our fire safety engineers and fire protection specialists review building plans and existing structures against the National Construction Code (NCC), relevant Building Code of Australia (BCA) clauses, and Australian Standards (such as AS 2118, AS 1668, AS 2419, and AS 1851). We prepare compliant Fire Engineering Briefs (FEB), Fire Safety Reports, and Essential Safety Measures (ESM) documentation required by certifiers and local fire authorities.

A Performance Solution (formerly known as an Alternative Solution) uses advanced engineering analysis, fire modeling, and evacuation simulations to demonstrate that a unique building design meets or exceeds the Performance Requirements of the NCC. It is required when a building design deviates from prescriptive Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) provisions, allowing architectural flexibility while maintaining strict fire safety standards.

Omnii designs both active and passive fire protection systems. This includes fire sprinkler systems, fire hydrant and hose reel networks, automatic fire detection and alarm systems, emergency warning and intercommunication systems (EWIS), smoke control and mechanical ventilation systems, as well as fire-rated construction and penetration sealing specifications.

Yes. We perform thorough fire risk assessments for existing residential, commercial, industrial, and heritage buildings. Our engineers evaluate current fire protection measures, identify fire hazard risks, assess occupant egress paths, and deliver actionable recommendations to help achieve compliance with duty-of-care obligations and insurance requirements.

We utilise Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) smoke modeling and 3D egress software to simulate fire growth, smoke spread, and occupant evacuation times. This allows us to optimise mechanical smoke exhaust systems, stairwell pressurisation, and evacuation routes, achieving safe conditions for occupants during an emergency.

Omnii's Fire Safety Compliance team works with building owners, strata managers, and facility managers to audit existing facilities, resolve council fire safety notices, and develop cost-effective fire safety upgrade strategies. We assist in verifying essential safety measures to support your Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) or building compliance certifications.

Engaging Omnii during the schematic design stage yields the best results. Early involvement allows our fire safety engineers to identify potential compliance bottlenecks, integrate fire engineering strategy into the architectural design, avoid costly redesigns later, and streamline the approval process with certifiers and fire rescue services.

Yes. Passive fire protection is critical to structural integrity and fire compartmentation. We specify and inspect structural fire resistance levels (FRLs), fire-rated walls, floors, doors, dampers, and fire-stopping penetrations so that the building prevents fire spread in accordance with NCC regulations.

Omnii provides consulting services for residential developments, commercial high-rises, industrial facilities, healthcare facilities, shopping centres, and educational institutions across Australia. Our engineering team is versed in state-specific building regulations, including NSW, QLD, VIC, WA, and SA fire authority guidelines.
