Residential and Apartment Fire Safety Compliance
Fire safety in residential buildings demands consistent, documented compliance with state regulations and building codes. For landlords, strata managers, and body corporates, this means maintaining every system, process, and inspection record to meet ongoing legal obligations.
We offer end-to-end support for residential and apartment fire safety to help you manage compliance efficiently and reduce liability. Our consultants work with owners’ corporations and facility managers to ensure your building meets all relevant safety standards and performance requirements.
Fire Safety Responsibilities for Strata and Apartment Buildings
Apartment and strata-managed properties must maintain fire systems in accordance with the Building Code of Australia and relevant state regulations. This includes maintaining alarms, hydrants, sprinklers, emergency lighting, and exit signage.
Our team supports strata fire safety compliance by coordinating inspection schedules, contractor management, documentation, and certification. We help committees and owners’ corporations maintain a consistent approach to testing and maintenance across shared assets and residential common areas.
Regular Inspections and Maintenance
All residential strata properties are required to undergo fire safety inspections at prescribed intervals. These inspections ensure every fire protection system is working as intended and remains compliant with AS 1851 – Maintenance of Fire Protection Systems and Equipment.
EBC Group provides independent fire safety audits and inspection management for apartments and multi-residential buildings. We maintain detailed compliance records, identify maintenance gaps, and provide reporting suitable for annual certification and insurance reviews.
Fire Safety Regulations for Landlords and Building Owners
Landlords and property managers are legally obligated to maintain fire safety systems in tenanted properties. This includes ensuring operational smoke alarms, clear evacuation access, and tested fire protection systems. We help landlords meet fire safety regulations for apartments through tailored compliance plans. Our services include routine system testing, safety audits, emergency lighting checks, and evacuation plan updates to align with local legislation and tenancy requirements.
Documentation, Certification, and Reporting
Every residential or strata property must maintain clear, accessible documentation for all fire safety systems. EBC Group assists with record keeping, ensuring compliance with annual certification requirements and supporting submissions to local councils or fire authorities.
