Engineering-Led Fire Protection
About Adsero
Adsero was established to bring genuine engineering rigour to fire protection services in South East Queensland. We believe that fire protection is too important to leave to checkbox compliance and contractor convenience.
Buildings exist to shelter people. Fire protection systems exist to keep those people safe when something goes wrong. This responsibility deserves proper engineering attention: careful analysis, sound design principles, and thorough documentation.
That is what Adsero delivers. Every engagement benefits from the expertise of a qualified Professional Engineer with specialised fire protection credentials. We approach each project with the attention it deserves, because the systems we design and assess may one day be all that stands between building occupants and disaster.
Our Team
RPEQ Registered Professional Engineers
Adsero was founded to provide fire protection engineering services that reflect the highest professional standards and values. With formal engineering qualifications and specialised fire protection accreditation, our team brings a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience to every project.
Our background includes substantial experience in the construction industry, working on projects ranging from commercial developments to industrial facilities. This construction experience provides practical understanding of how fire protection systems are actually installed, commissioned, and maintained. It informs design decisions and enables effective communication with contractors, certifiers, and building operators.
Beyond technical expertise, we are committed to clear communication and professional service. Clients engage directly with qualified engineers throughout their projects, receiving consistent attention and expertise from initial enquiry through to completion.

Our Approach
Independence
Adsero is an engineering consultancy, not a fire protection contractor. We do not install systems, supply equipment, or have commercial relationships with product manufacturers. This independence means our advice and designs are based solely on what your project requires.
Engineering Rigour
Every design includes documented calculations. Every recommendation has a clear basis. Every opinion can be explained and defended. We apply systematic engineering methodology to fire protection, not rules of thumb or industry shortcuts.
Clear Communication
Fire protection involves technical complexity, but our clients should not need to be fire engineers to understand our advice. We explain our work in plain language and remain available to answer questions.
Practical Focus
Engineering that cannot be built has no value. We design systems that contractors can install, that fit within building constraints, and that can be maintained over their operating life.
Accountability
Our engineers are personally involved in every project. You deal directly with qualified professionals who take responsibility for the work. There is no ambiguity about who is accountable for Adsero's deliverables.
Why "Adsero"?
Adsero is derived from Latin, meaning "to protect" or "to defend". It reflects our fundamental purpose: protecting people and property through sound fire protection engineering.
The name also reflects our approach. We advocate for proper fire protection standards, defend building occupants through quality design, and protect our clients' interests through independent, professional advice.
Our Commitment
Every building we work on contains people who trust that fire protection systems will work when needed. Property owners invest in our designs expecting compliant, cost-effective solutions. Certifiers and authorities rely on our documentation to make approval decisions.
We take these responsibilities seriously. We commit to:
- Providing advice and designs that meet professional standards
- Acting in our clients' best interests, not our own commercial convenience
- Being honest about what we can and cannot deliver
- Standing behind our work and addressing any shortcomings
- Maintaining and developing our professional competence
- Upholding the reputation of the engineering profession
