Jeffrey Liu

With over 10 years of work experience in the fire engineering field in New Zealand, I have honed my proficiency in fire engineering design for warehouses, industrial facilities, apartments, retail buildings, office buildings, and more, and gained skills in demonstrating compliance with fire codes, firefighting water supply, passive fire etc.

I excel in consulting skills, providing timely and systematic options to acceptable solutions, active listening, facilitating decision-making etc. I also possess highly developed skills in fire modelling, utilizing first principles to address complex design issues.

My utmost priority is delivering fire solutions that not only meet regulatory requirements but are also cost-effective and align with the client's demands.
