Our guideline

(see full document attached below)

This guideline is predicated on establishing principles for the safe design of buildings using massive timber building systems. It is not a prescriptive document. Rather, it seeks to inform fire agencies about the current principles for fire safety design with engineered timber products. The adoption of the guiding principles detailed herein, coupled with a comprehensive design process agreed to by the local fire authority, should ensure a reliable design outcome in terms of fire safety by the design and construction stakeholders.

The intention of the document, when read, understood and applied, is to reduce the likelihood and consequence of fire, assist with firefighting intervention and protect life, property and environment from fire.
