Fire Safety Expert Witness & Engineering
Safety is a choice people make
Fire Safety Engineering Consultancy Australia
CJK Fire & Safety is a specialist fire safety engineering consultancy in Australia, providing performance-based fire engineering services for new developments and existing buildings. We assist developers, architects, certifiers and building owners to achieve clear, defensible National Construction Code (NCC) compliance outcomes. Our fire engineering services include performance solutions, compliance strategy, peer reviews, fire risk assessment and technical advisory support. We focus on how a building performs in a fire holistically – not just whether it ticks compliance boxes.
Fire protection issues can lead to costly redesign, construction defects claims and regulatory action. Engaging an experienced fire engineering consultant early helps manage compliance risk, protect project timelines and avoid unnecessary expense.
From residential and mixed-use developments to hospitals and commercial buildings, we deliver practical, commercially aware fire safety engineering advice across Australia.
If you require a trusted fire safety engineering consultant for performance solutions or compliance support, contact us to discuss your project.

A qualified fire expert witness provides independent, objective analysis to assist the court in understanding these matters.
