A1 Managed Certifications
Design, installation and certification of passive fire systems is too important to leave to chance. Too often, it’s handled by multiple sub-contractors without proper training — leading to rejections, costly overruns, and last-minute rectification work.
Our Managed Certification service streamlines the process, saving builders and developers time, money, and stress. By integrating design, construction oversight, and paperwork management, we ensure compliance is achieved seamlessly and without delay.
Design: Licensed certifiers collaborate with architects and fire engineers to ensure compliance with BCA regulations and Australian standards, while keeping costs efficient.
Construction: Our accredited staff oversee works in progress, reducing the need for urgent last-minute fixes before settlement.
Paperwork: We manage all required forms and registers, liaising directly with contractors to eliminate delays and failed certification at inspection.
