FPAS accredited passive fire for North Shore commercial campuses, healthcare facilities, aged care, schools and residential developments — from North Sydney through Chatswood to Hornsby.
The North Shore concentrates some of Sydney's most demanding passive fire compliance environments — corporate office campuses, major private hospitals, a dense network of aged care facilities, and a large independent school sector — all with ongoing AFSS obligations and frequent fitout and refurbishment activity.
East Coast Passive services the full North Shore: the commercial towers of North Sydney, St Leonards and Chatswood; the healthcare precincts around Royal North Shore and the private hospitals; the aged care belt through Hornsby, Pymble and Gordon; residential redevelopments in Crows Nest, Artarmon and Lane Cove; and the schools scattered from Mosman to Wahroonga. We're an FPAS accredited contractor delivering Fire Compliance & Certification on new works and AFSS rectification on existing buildings.
Commercial office campuses — North Sydney and St Leonards host significant A-grade commercial stock. We deliver fire stopping and fire-rated seals for tenancy fitouts, structural steel protection for base-build and refurbishment work, and AFSS support for building owners managing compliance across portfolios. The challenge on a commercial campus is working around occupied tenancies: we plan intrusive work out-of-hours and coordinate closely with facility managers.
Healthcare and aged care — hospital and aged care compliance is unforgiving. Compartmentation is the main line of life safety for vulnerable occupants who can't be rapidly evacuated. We deliver passive fire on new healthcare builds and refurbishments, and we inspect, rectify and endorse passive items on existing facilities preparing for their AFSS. Every item is photograph-documented and registered for auditability.
Schools and education — independent and public schools across the North Shore have significant passive fire stock spread across multiple buildings, often built over decades. We support facilities teams with comprehensive passive fire audits, registers for previously undocumented stock, and rectification of failed or missing compartmentation items.
Residential developments and strata — mid-rise apartment developments in Chatswood, Crows Nest and Hornsby need careful passive fire staging: sole-occupancy unit (SOU) separations to 60/60/60 minimum, lightweight construction shaftliner to lift and services cores, fire seals protecting openings in fire resisting components, access panels and hoppers to fire resisting shafts, and fire stopping at every service penetration between units and common areas. For existing strata buildings we act as your passive fire consultant — auditing, documenting and rectifying Essential Fire Safety Measures for strata committees and building management.
North Shore portfolios need a passive fire contractor who can demonstrate FPAS accreditation, produce proper documentation, and work to the operational standards of owner-occupier and institutional clients. We inspect to AS1851 and provide Fire Safety Assessor endorsement of passive components for your AFSS. Our handover packages include the passive fire register, product data sheets, AS 1530.4 test evidence, and photo documentation — everything your certifier, auditor or AFSS endorser needs in one pack.
