Who we help

Own or manage a building? We’ll run the Form 3.

The duty stays with the owner, but the calendar, the chasing and the paperwork can be ours.

01

Building owners

You stay compliant without chasing a single contractor.

02

Property & facility managers

One calendar for every building in the portfolio, with evidence ready when council asks.

03

Strata & body corporates

Common area fire safety kept on schedule and on record, year after year.

SA essential safety provisions

Does your building need a Form 3?

If council issued your building a Form 1, the answer is almost always yes. Here’s what the law asks for.

Every yearReg 94 & MBS 002

Buildings with a Form 1

Every essential safety provision on your building's Form 1 must be maintained and tested each year under MBS 002. The owner then lodges a Form 3 with council within 60 business days of 31 December, around late March. Missing it carries fines of up to $10,000.

Examples
  • Offices
  • Retail
  • Warehouses
  • Schools
  • Aged care
  • Strata
48hrsTo produce records

Two years of records, on request

Council can ask for two years of maintenance records, and you have 48 hours to produce them. Missing records carry their own fine of up to $2,500.

Examples
  • Service records
  • Logbooks
  • Defect reports
500m²Lodging exemption

Smaller buildings still maintain

Many smaller buildings, two storeys or less and 500 m² or less, don't have to lodge a Form 3. Every safety provision on the Form 1 still has to be maintained and tested.

Examples
  • Small offices
  • Shopfronts
  • Small warehouses

What is a Form 3?add
It's the yearly certificate that every essential safety provision on your building's Form 1 has been maintained and tested. In SA it goes to council within 60 business days of 31 December, so around late March.
Who has to lodge one?add
The building owner, for any building with a Form 1. Property managers usually handle it on the owner's behalf. Some smaller buildings don't have to lodge, but they still have to maintain everything on the Form 1.
We can't find our Form 1. Is that a problem?add
No. We request it from council for you. It's the list that decides what your building has to maintain, so it's the first thing we get.
Who signs the Form 3?add
The people who did the maintenance sign off on their work, and the owner lodges it. We collect the right signatures, check the records behind them and lodge it for you. We never sign for work we didn't do.
What happens if it's late?add
Council can issue a $750 expiation, and fines go up to $10,000. If you're already behind, get in touch now. We'll find out what's been done, line up what's missing and get it lodged.
Do you service sprinklers, hydrants and fire panels?add
We coordinate them. Water-based systems and fire panels are serviced by licensed specialists. We book them, chase the paperwork, check it and add it to your Form 3 records.
Can you take over partway through the year?add
Yes. We collect what's been done so far, fill the gaps in the calendar and carry it through to lodgement.
What records do we need to keep?add
Two years of maintenance records, ready to hand over within 48 hours of council asking. We keep every record for you, so they're always one email away.
Can this go on the same visits as our AEDs and first aid kits?add
Yes. Our testing happens on the same visits as your AEDs and first aid kits, so there's one team on site and one invoice.
What does it cost?add
It depends on the building, what's on its Form 1 and whether you want the full program or coordination only. Send your details for a clear, itemised quote the same business day.
