Advisory Services

Independent, strategic fire safety expertise to support confident decisions across complex projects.

Vortex Fire provides independent Fire Safety Engineering Advisory Services to support clients who require trusted, expert guidance across the full lifecycle of a project. Acting as the client’s fire safety specialist advisor, we work alongside developers, asset owners, project managers, legal teams, insurers, and design consultants to protect client interests and strengthen project outcomes.
Our advisory role is distinct from traditional fire safety design services. We focus on strategy, governance, risk management, and technical assurance, ensuring fire safety decisions are robust, proportionate, and aligned with project objectives.
