The Problem

Fire safety compliance for a building is not one obligation but many, each attached to a different asset with its own inspection interval. Owners and facility managers routinely track this in spreadsheets, where a missed service is both a safety failure and a regulatory one.

FireMatters was built to compute the service regime automatically from the assets in a building, so the schedule follows from the asset register rather than from somebody remembering.

What We Built

  • building and asset register with fire safety measures
  • automated service regime calculation per asset
  • inspection scheduling and due-date tracking
  • document workflows for compliance records
  • reporting for owners and facility managers
  • role-aware access across owners and contractors

Why This Was More Than an Asset Register

The value is in the calculation, not the list. Turning an asset register into a correct servicing schedule is where the domain complexity lives.

encoding Australian fire safety servicing rules correctly

recalculating schedules when a building asset register changes

keeping compliance documents attached to the right asset and period

designing for facility managers rather than software users

making an audit trail that stands up to scrutiny
