Design Consultancy
Home Fire Sprinkler Design
Early fire control can make a critical difference in a home — practical, coordinated sprinkler solutions to improve life safety and property protection.
We provide professional design consultancy for automatic home fire sprinkler systems in one- and two-family homes, developed with reference to AS 2118.5-2008 (Reconfirmed 2020), which addresses the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of these systems.
Design objective: A reliable and unobtrusive home sprinkler solution coordinated with the dwelling layout, available water supply, architectural finishes and applicable approval requirements.

Coordinated sprinkler locations and coverage arrangements considering room geometry, obstructions and architectural features.
Water-Supply Assessment
Assessment of available water-supply information and identification of flow, pressure and connection requirements.

Hydraulic design calculations and pipe sizing using the relevant design criteria and selected sprinkler components.
Independent or Combined System Design
Design support for an independent sprinkler system or, where suitable, a combined arrangement with domestic plumbing.

Homes in Bushfire-Prone Areas
Home fire sprinklers can form part of a broader fire-safety strategy for dwellings in bushfire-prone locations, particularly by providing automatic protection against fires that develop inside the home.
Important distinction: AS 2118.5 home fire sprinklers are primarily internal life-safety and property-protection systems. They should not be represented as a substitute for bushfire-specific building design, site planning, vegetation management or any separate external sprinkler or water-spray system required by the project's bushfire assessment.
