Bloom Fire Consulting is a fire engineering specialist focused on developing fire-related performance solutions for buildings and infrastructure.

Building codes and standards frequently curtail aspirational designs, the use of new materials and technologies, and architectural visions. At Bloom Fire Consulting we approach these challenges with a holistic view. Utilising our technical expertise, industry experience, and creative thinking, we work closely with the design team and authorities to provide integrated solutions and practical results that will work toward your desired designs and architectural aspirations.

We are geared to service a wide range of project sizes and types, so whether you have specific and defined code departures, want to understand your potential for value-add opportunities, or you need a fundamental fire engineering foundation, we are equipped to meet your objectives. Contact Bloom about your project requirements.

Bloom Fire Consulting is here to provide upfront fire-related code advice for your project to highlight key risk items, realise value-add opportunities, and enable cost efficiencies. The benefit of this approach is that it provides you with the opportunity from the outset to better understand your options and their associated risks and rewards; this allows you to make more informed decisions to mould your design while maintaining focus on your project objectives.

In order to achieve this benefit, Bloom Fire Consulting works with the design team to generate a cohesive Fire Safety Strategy Report with accompanying drawing markups to provide clear guidance to mitigate the key risks, encompass the value-add opportunities, and realise the potential cost efficiencies. We can further reduce approval risks by engaging with the relevant building authorities and fire brigades to coordinate and incorporate their concerns and appetites into the design with the least impact on your project aspirations. Contact Bloom to discover how we can help beneficially mould your project.

Structural fire engineering is a specialist discipline that analyses the thermal and structural response of a building or structure subject to a fire. Such specialisation enables potential direct benefits to your project in relation to rationalised material expenses, labour costs, and accelerated construction programs. There are additional possible indirect benefits such as simplified co-ordination with services and architecture and improved structural efficiencies; these benefits may lead to the facilitation of more sustainable constructions potentially aiding with Green Star Ratings.

Bloom Fire Consulting approaches this unique service with an appropriately holistic and fundamental view to define and inform the thermal and structural response of a building with the aim of delivering these direct and indirect benefits to your project. Bloom’s Director, Dr Adam Ervine, hold a PhD in structural fire engineering from one of the top universities globally within the discipline. He has experience in the detailed review and analysis of concrete, steel, timber, and composite structures.

Contact Bloom about your project construction to understand the benefits that this service may deliver to your project.

Passive fire protection is a key component to any fire safety strategy. Appropriate planning and coordination of fire-rated element interfaces and services required to be fire stopped is necessary to mitigate the potential for significant time delays, abortive reworks, or full redesign.

Bloom Fire Consulting fulfils a niche in the market, having partnered with one of Australia’s leading passive fire specialists, FyrePro. Whether you have uncovered an array of fire stopping issues in your existing building, a tested system simply does not exist, or you are looking for some rationalisations in your design, a partnering with FyrePro, together with the expertise and industry experience of Bloom Fire Consulting, enables us to provide you with specific advice and tailored solutions to satisfy your project needs. Contact Bloom to discover how we can meet your passive fire needs.

When it comes to fire and smoke, understanding their impact on the fire safety of a building or structure is vital. Bloom Fire Consulting has extensive experience in the analysis of the impacts of fire and smoke and are specialists in the development and use of analytical and numerical tools, ranging from simplified hand calculations to complex field simulations.

Whether your project design introduces travel distance challenges, the building discharge requires occupants to travel past openings, or you are trying to rationalise or perfect the building’s smoke hazard management, your project may benefit greatly from a fire and smoke analysis. Contact Bloom to understand how your project can benefit from a fire and smoke analysis.

Evacuation analyses are performed to assure the safety of the occupants of a building. Whether the evacuation analysis is undertaken in conjunction with a fire and smoke analysis, or as a standalone analysis for emergency crowd movement, Bloom Fire Consulting has the expertise and understanding in occupant characteristics to determine optimum evacuation strategies for complex building designs.

With the aim of providing an efficient, cost-effective, and safe outcomes, Bloom Fire Consulting can provide advice for your project on maximum occupant loads, exit widths and distribution, and egress path complexity and signage, and whether your design generates the potential for crowd crush conditions during an emergency. Contact Bloom to understand how your project can benefit from an evacuation analysis.

Whether you are needing to understand your degree of compliance or are considering undertaking works within an existing building, maintaining fire safety compliance is a vital aspect of a functioning and occupied building. Undertaking a building audit and a technical due diligence review is a robust way of assuring that appropriate fire safety compliance is maintained, and to highlight any issues.

Bloom Fire Consulting is equipped to undertake site audits and a review of existing documentation, including any fire engineering reports and solutions. Upon undertaking these works, Bloom can prepare a survey report to detail the key fire safety compliance issues, provide options and solutions to resolve these, and can provide guidance on temporary measures to manage the risks prior to resolution. Contact Bloom for help navigating through the process of achieving a suitable degree of fire and life safety for your building.

A fire risk assessment serves as an important tool to provide an indication and understanding of the safety associated with a building or structure.

Whether you are upgrading or expanding an existing building, or changing its function and use, requiring compliance to current codes and standards can be close to impossible or frequently cost prohibitive. Bloom Fire Consulting has extensive experience in the utilisation of risk-based assessment methods and have undertaken such assessments, resulting in clear and common-sense recommendations and requirements in order to define an appropriate level of safety. Contact Bloom to discuss how we can help in maintaining a suitable degree of fire and life safety for your building.

The utilisation of a peer review process is a key step in mitigating project risks. Such peer reviews assist in generating a robust and practical fire engineering design.
Bloom Fire Consulting has extensive experience in a range of building and infrastructure types from houses to precincts, including the introduction of new novel technologies such as electric vehicles, mass timber construction, solar integration, and evacuation lifts.
We conduct our peer reviews in a collaborative manner, seeking to not only de-risk your project but add further value that generates outcomes that are optimal for your project. Our peer review reports are clear and concise, offering constructive and practical feedback. Whether you need a peer reviewer to facilitate the approval process or just need a second opinion for peace of mind, contact Bloom Fire Consulting to assist.
