We offer accredited services for fire sprinkler, hydrant, hose reel, and smoke detection systems, ensuring optimal safety and compliance for all your fire protection needs.
Class 2 Smoke Detection & Alarm System Design
Designing smoke detection and alarm systems for Class 2 residential buildings requires a clear understanding of whether the building needs smoke alarms, smoke detectors, or a combination of both. The NCC sets out different requirements depending on building height, layout, and classification, so getting this right from the start is essential for compliance and cost efficiency.
Understanding What Your Building Actually Requires
For Class 2 buildings that only require a smoke alarm system (S20C3) due to building height, it’s important to confirm whether:
Only smoke alarms are required;
Smoke detection is required instead; or
A combined system is needed under S20C5.
This distinction affects installation locations, system complexity, maintenance costs, and overall project budget.
Designing a Compliant & Cost‑Effective System
Under S20C3, smoke alarms (AS 3786) must be installed in specific locations within each sole‑occupancy unit (SOU). These locations typically include:
Between bedrooms and the remainder of the SOU
In hallways serving bedrooms
In egress paths on storeys without bedrooms
When designed correctly, a smoke alarm system with integrated sounders offers a cheaper and lower‑maintenance alternative to full smoke detection systems, while still meeting NCC and AS 1670.1 requirements.
Avoiding Over‑Design & Preventing False Alarms
Many designers over‑specify detection devices “to be safe,” which increases cost and can lead to unnecessary false alarms. At FIRE DES, we design strictly to the BCA, AS 1670.1‑2018, and AS 3786, ensuring:
No unnecessary detectors
No excessive devices in kitchens or areas prone to spurious alarms
Correct placement to minimise nuisance alarms
Full compliance without inflating project cost
