🔧 What’s Included for Real Estate Agencies
Our agency package is built around how PMs and sales teams actually work — not how plumbers and sparkies usually invoice:
- Single agency contact — Darren or Lee, direct mobile, not a call centre
- Scheduled rounds across your rental roll — quarterly, half-yearly or annual
- Bulk pre-sale inspections coordinated against your settlement schedule
- Form 24-ready compliance certificates emailed within hours of each visit
- Monthly invoicing — one invoice per agency per month, line-by-line per property
- Direct landlord contact when authorised — we communicate, you don’t have to relay
- $120 per alarm flat — same as our retail rate, no agency markup
🎯 Why Agencies Across Brisbane Northside Choose Us
Most agencies on the northside are juggling 2 or 3 smoke alarm contractors — one who’s cheap but never answers, one who’s reliable but expensive, and one who left the industry six months ago and nobody told the property manager. That’s a property manager problem, not a smoke alarm problem.
We solve it by being the contractor who:
- Answers the phone. Darren picks up, or calls back inside an hour.
- Shows up. Lee runs scheduled rounds — not “we’ll fit you in”.
- Issues paperwork the day of inspection. Not three weeks later.
- Charges the same price every time. $120 per alarm. No call-out, no service fee, no special rate for difficult properties.
- Is fully licensed and insured. QLD Electrical Licence #92217, ARC AU42842 — we cover the trade card, your professional indemnity isn’t on the line.
📅 The 1 January 2027 Deadline — Why It Matters for Your Roll
From 1 January 2027, every Queensland rental and every property at sale must have fully interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, in hallways serving bedrooms, and on every level. Failure to comply at lease renewal or settlement can void rental insurance and trigger contract disputes.
The smart agencies are clearing their roll now — not in late 2026 when every contractor is booked out and prices are rising. We can run a full audit of your roll and tell you exactly which properties need work, which are already compliant, and what the total cost looks like — for free.

💰 Real Estate Agency Smoke Alarm Pricing
- $120 per alarm flat — supply, install, interconnect, test and Form 24-ready certificate
- $120 compliance check — inspection only, when no install is needed
- 4-bedroom property ≈ $480 · 5-bedroom ≈ $600
- No agency markup, no admin fee, no per-visit surcharge
- Monthly invoicing — single invoice per agency, itemised per property
The price your vendor or landlord sees is the same price every other client of ours sees — so there’s no awkward “why am I paying more through the agency” conversation.
❓ Real Estate Agency Smoke Alarm Compliance FAQ
How does monthly invoicing work?
Each property is logged at time of inspection. At month-end you receive a single PDF invoice with one line per property — address, alarms installed/inspected, total. Pay the invoice, we reconcile, you onward-bill the landlord or vendor.
Can you contact our landlords directly to schedule access?
Yes — once you authorise it. Most agencies prefer we contact the tenant directly to coordinate a 60-minute access window, then CC the property manager on confirmation. Saves the PM 5–15 minutes per property.
What if a property fails compliance — do you upsell?
No. Failed-compliance properties get a written quote at $120 per alarm flat — exactly the same rate as a clean inspection. We tell you what’s needed, you tell the landlord, they decide. Never any pressure-sell.
Do you handle bulk pre-settlement inspections?
Yes. Send us your settlement diary — we’ll schedule an inspection at each property in time to issue a Form 24-ready certificate ahead of settlement. Same $120 per alarm rate, monthly invoiced.
