About Osborn Associates
Engineering Safety | Protecting What Matters Most
At Osborn Associates, we believe fire protection engineering goes beyond simply meeting codeβitβs about safeguarding lives, preserving critical assets, and ensuring business continuity. We deliver tailored, code-compliant systems that address both immediate and future fire risks, designed to integrate seamlessly with the overall building infrastructure. Our solutions are not just functionalβthey are forward-thinking, resilient, and built to support the long-term safety of the occupants and the facility.
Guided by the principles of resilience and responsibility , our fire protection engineers work closely with developers, architects, facility managers, and local authorities to deliver systems that meet all regulatory standards while enhancing safety outcomes. From conventional fire alarms, sprinklers, and hydrant systems to advanced technologies like gas suppression, water mist, and smoke control, every system is designed for accuracy, efficiency, and alignment with the buildingβs purpose and performance requirements.
We take a proactive, integrated approach to fire protection. By engaging early in the design process, we ensure every solution is fully coordinated and cost-effective. Our team leverages advanced digital tools such as CFD smoke modelling, 2D CAD, 3D Revit, and BIM 360 to deliver clash-free, compliant designs that support broader architectural and engineering goals. This enables us to provide systems that are not only technically robust, but also visually and functionally cohesiveβbuilt to protect today and adapt for tomorrow.
Compliance Expertise
Our engineers are well-versed in British Standards, NFPA, Australian, New Zealand, and Factory Mutual codes. We also provide advisory services where code variations or performance-based solutions are possible, liaising directly with local fire authorities to secure approvals.
