If issues are discovered late, it can delay leasing, settlement, or compliance approval.

We can quickly inspect your system and provide a clear path to compliance.

- Wiring inspection — hardwired connections are checked for loose or corroded terminals
- Placement review — alarm positioning is verified against current Queensland standards
