“Clients do not judge us how much we cost them but on how much value we give to them”
The following three features of Integrated Fire Services provide extensive advantages and many benefits to our clients:
Being a registered building practitioner in Victoria and a Chartered Professional Engineer in Australia provides the following advantages:
These advantages provide the following benefits to our clients:
Alternative solution:
Our client is not necessarily bound by the requirements of the building code so that innovative, practical and cost effective alternatives solutions can be achieved.This saves our client time and money.
Review of Alternative Solutions:
If a client already has an alternative solution and needs someone to verify the engineering conclusions he benefits by having a peer review undertaken to unlock the benefits of the alternative solution.
Design Certificates:
Our clients are not required to engage another practitioner to check and sign off designs. This simplifies the design process and saves our clients time and money.
Installation Certificates
We are qualified to check installations for compliance so our clients are not required to engage another professional at completion. (Contractors who do not have our clients’ interest at heart engage third party checkers who will be loyal to the contractor.) This ensures that our client receives what he has paid for and this saves him time, money and confusion.
Continuing Professional Development
Clients can know they receive information and advice that is up to date using the latest technology. Designs consider emerging technologies to provide flexibility, reliability, expand ability. Substantial cost effectiveness can also be achieved.

Multi-disciplinary Design Team Approach
We understand that we are part of a larger team and need to work with other designers, managers and stakeholders. We know what they want and the type of information they need to do their jobs effectively. This helps everyone to efficiently work through their roles knowing that all the pieces will be in place. Our clients love the fact that we are all working together and this saves him time and money.
Extensive Professional Network
Over the years we have developed a network of like-minded professionals, reliable contractors and industry leaders. If our client has special needs or services we can use our network to develop a solution or refer them to someone that can help. Our clients love that we can help in almost any circumstance.
Integrated Fire Services has deliberately kept its design team small for the following reasons:
Provides a personal touch
Our clients like to work with us as they deal with the same engineers for the entire project. This builds rapport and we get to know how our clients think and what they need.
Reduces the number of steps in the delivery process
Clients are not dealing with a number of people or processes in the delivery chain. Dealing with any issue is simplified and we can get straight to the point saving our client time and energy.
Keeps over heads to a minimum
We keep our overheads down and our clients get more service for their dollar. Our clients receive incredible value this way as their investment with us is usually lower than competitors and we delivery so much more.
Focus on what we are good at
We don’t pretend to be good at everything. Our clients can be confident that because we specialise we are very good at what we do. This eliminates errors and saves time and money for our clients. Sometimes we even surprise our clients by providing them with services that they didn’t know we are also very good at.
