What affects the cost of your AFSS?

No two buildings are the same, which is why we provide firm quotes based on your actual Fire Safety Schedule rather than a one-size-fits-all price. The main factors that determine your AFSS cost are the number of essential fire safety measures on your schedule, the number of floors or tenancies in the building, whether the building has complex systems like sprinklers, hydrants or mechanical smoke control, the accessibility of equipment (ceiling heights, locked areas, after-hours access), and whether defect rectification is needed before the AFSS can be issued.

Send us a copy of your current Fire Safety Schedule or your last AFSS and we'll provide a firm quote within one business day.

Our pricing promise

The price we quote is the price you pay. No hidden reinspection fees — if we need to revisit after defects are rectified, we'll tell you upfront. No surprise charges for council lodgement guidance. No inflated call-out fees. We price based on your actual Fire Safety Schedule, not a rough estimate that changes after we arrive on site.

Frequently asked questions about AFSS pricing

How much does an Annual Fire Safety Statement cost in Sydney? AFSS pricing depends on the size and complexity of your building.

What is the fine for not lodging an AFSS? Penalty notices for late lodgement start at $1,000 in the first week and increase each week — rising to $4,000 per week from week four onwards. Courts can impose fines up to $110,000 under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The cost of an AFSS inspection is a fraction of even one penalty notice.

Does the AFSS price include maintenance and repairs? No. The AFSS assessment is an inspection and certification service. If defects are found during the inspection, we provide a detailed defect report so you or your contractor can carry out the repairs. We can also quote separately for rectification work. Once defects are cleared, we re-inspect and issue the AFSS.

How often do I need to pay for an AFSS? The AFSS must be lodged every 12 months. Most building owners engage us on an annual basis. We also offer ongoing AS 1851 maintenance programs where routine servicing is bundled with the annual AFSS — this can reduce your overall compliance costs compared to engaging separate contractors for maintenance and certification.

Can I get a discount for multiple buildings? Yes. If you manage multiple properties that require an AFSS — whether as a strata manager, property manager or building owner — contact us to discuss portfolio pricing.
