We started using Project Guides in 2022 for advice on matters related to Fire Safety, BCA and AS Compliances, Since then we have not looked back and continued to use their services on all our projects. Their expertise have helped our site team in achieving higher standard of compliances

Project Guides have been assisting us for several years for complex AFSS’s issues and Council Fire Order’s. Project Guides have been engaged to manage multiple Fire Order’s throughout Sydney. Vincent has shown great knowledge and understanding and this has been demonstrated with concise specifications and tendering, transparent and regular reporting. On several occasions, Vincent has been able to provide different solutions to the Owners, which has provided well-needed cost savings. Project Guides have also provided on-going assistance to our Compliance Manager for difficult and complex Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS’s). Vincent is always quick to respond with clear information that allows us to move quickly with any urgent works. We have appreciated the help and we look forward to working together in the future. 

WOTSO have been using Project Guides for just over 6 months now and although our relationship has been short, we’ve been extremely impressed with the service we’ve received. Vincent and the team have been attentive with our projects and although given little notice by us, were able to jump straight in and have everything completed swiftly. The Project Guides team are always available for a chat to clarify certain elements of a job and we feel go above and beyond to achieve the best outcome for the client.

As a strata manager we are always faced with complex matters that arise when having to deal with specialist fire orders and compliance in a timely manner. We have found Vincent a pleasure to work with, polite, efficient and detailed in the advice, reporting and instructions provided to contractors that he is project managing. His ability to resolve disputes and the quality of his consultative approach on behalf of owners corporations are of a high quality. We won’t hesitate to recommend Vincent for any future works.

The Project Guides team has assisted our projects by quickly and effectively addressing complex defects in preparation for occupation, as well as providing technical specifications for Construction Certificate submission to the satisfaction of the Principal Certifier. Their technical documentation is clear and concise and has been utilised by contractors in the field. When a matter is time critical, their team is great at providing quick advice over the phone and via email.

I’ve worked with Vince from Project Guides on multiple projects over many years and have found his approach very methodical and efficiently handled. I’ve received feedback from clients who found Vince to be as I know him, which is very friendly, knowledgeable and precise. This has gone a long way with my clients as it reassures them that we got the right person for the job. As such I would highly recommend using his services.

During my role as a Strata Manager, Vince Graham was the Project Manager for several large-scale building fire upgrade works ordered by the Council. Vince was amazing and always available when we needed help or advice. His reports were thorough and professional and he always went above and beyond to accommodate the Committee.

Vince successfully managed a project for our block of six units. This was the implementation of a Fire Order required by our Local Council. There was a substantial list of remedial measures needed requiring different trade skills and of varying complexity. Vince scoped the work, obtained quotes, recommended contractors based on these quotes, managed the work, fully documented the work that had been done and gained Council approval that the Fire Order had been satisfactorily executed. The Fire Order may have required us to install a fire hydrant in our drive because of the distance of the property from the one in the street. This would have been both costly and disruptive. Vince was able to demonstrate that the pressure was sufficient in the hydrant in the street if the fire brigade used an extra hose length and we installed signage to alert them that this was needed. He got this approach approved by both the fire brigade and the council. Vince is very organised and responsive and pays great attention to detail. At the personal level he is good and easy to work with. I'd certainly consider him again to manage a similar project.
