We Make Form 12A Certification Easy for You
For Property Managers and Independent Qualified Persons (IQPs), the integrity of a building’s fire separation is paramount. It is the silent guardian of structural stability and occupant safety. We specialise in delivering high-standard intumescent coatings that are not only architecturally superior but also align perfectly with New Zealand’s rigorous Building Warrant of Fitness (BWoF) requirements.
We understand that an IQP’s signature on a Form 12A represents a legal and ethical commitment to safety. That’s why we have moved beyond standard application to offer a comprehensive compliance-focused service. We act as the technical bridge between construction and certification, ensuring that every steel member we coat is a benchmark of reliability.
Our Technical Compliance Package for IQPs Includes:
Precision DFT (Dry Film Thickness) & Compliance Reporting
We utilize industry-leading, calibrated digital gauges (such as Elcometer) to perform rigorous testing across all coated surfaces. Our detailed DFT reports provide scientific proof that the required Fire Resistance Rating (FRR) has been achieved, giving IQPs the data-backed certainty they need to issue a Form 12A.
Comprehensive Photographic Evidence Logs
Transparency is at the heart of our process. We maintain high-resolution visual records of every structural element. By documenting the "Before, During, and After" stages of the application, we provide a clear history of the substrate preparation and coating thickness, ensuring no detail is hidden behind the finished coat.
Full Product Traceability & Technical Data
We provide a complete "Technical Pack" for every project. This includes manufacturer-specific technical data sheets, batch numbers, and precise application records. This total traceability ensures that the materials used are exactly as specified by the fire engineers and meet all New Zealand Building Code standards.
Specialist Remedial & Restoration Certification
If an existing building fails a BWoF inspection due to damaged, weathered, or non-compliant coatings, we provide expert intervention. Our team specialises in the professional repair and reinstatement of fire-rated systems, bringing aging assets back up to current NZ safety standards and ensuring your BWoF remains valid.
The Strategic Advantage for Property Managers
Audit-Ready Documentation: Eliminating the "Back-and-Forth"
We understand that administrative delays can jeopardise BWoF timelines. We eliminate the frustrating "back-and-forth" by providing a comprehensive, professional paperwork suite immediately upon project completion. Our digital records are organized, transparent, and ready for immediate submission to Council or insurance providers.
Active Risk Reduction: Minimising Owner Liability
Our rigorous Quality Control (QC) protocols are designed to be your first line of defence. By adhering to strict application standards and providing verifiable proof of Fire Resistance Ratings (FRR), we significantly minimize the legal and financial liability for building owners and managers. We ensure that your passive fire protection is a reliable asset, not a hidden risk.
IQP Synergy: Engineered for a "First-Visit Pass"
We speak the language of inspectors. Our deep understanding of what IQPs and Council auditors look for allows us to prepare every site for a seamless sign-off. By anticipating inspection requirements and addressing potential "failed" points during the application phase, we ensure our work is passed on the first visit—saving you the cost and hassle of re-inspections.
