We are here to set a new benchmark in Fire Engineering.

At Igneous Fire, we are professionally trained and chartered fire engineers with an abundance of local and international experiences with high-profile project portfolios.

From concept to building occupation, we provide forward-thinking approach to suit your design vision while establishing the fire safety elements for life safety, property protection & protection of firefighters.

> Founded

Igneous fire is founded on the experience that more than often the fire design dictates & sets the requirements for other disciplines

(alarm system, emergency lighting,surface finishes, occupancy limits).

> Unique

What makes us different is our vision to revolutionise

The way fire engineering is presented, whether to the design team, our clients or the authorities.

> Approach

Often, fire safety designs are seen as lengthy fire reports, cluttered markups making information difficult to discern, and rigid solutions limiting design capabilities. This is not our approach.

Instead, we closely collaborate and coordinate with our team along our design journey. Together, we engineer non-conventional solutions using our specialist expertise to provide smarter yet simple-to-discern designs.

> Vision

Vision for the future

Fire Engineering has been said to be the only engineering discipline in the building sector to be lacking behind in many modern aspects. Our vision for the future is to take fire engineering discipline as a whole further to at least on par with other disciplines, if not better and as a well understood design discipline.
