About Our Service
At SPACE Consulting Engineering, we understand that Fire and Life Safety (FLS) is one of the most critical elements of any building’s design. Our approach extends well beyond basic compliance — we focus on delivering robust, coordinated, and buildable solutions that maximise occupant safety while minimising impacts on architecture, construction sequencing, and long term operational costs.
From high rise residential towers to complex healthcare and institutional facilities, our engineers apply deep technical knowledge of the National Construction Code (NCC) and all relevant Australian Standards to ensure every project is safe, compliant, and operationally efficient.
Our Core Fire & Life Safety Capabilities
We provide comprehensive design, documentation, and coordination across all fire related building services.
