Steve Burton

Founder/Director Steve’s engineering experience began in mechanical. His turning point into the specialist field of fire engineering was after a major project with Brisbane International Airport. The project created a drive that later inspired him to establish his own engineering consultancy firm – Ferm Engineering Pty Ltd. He has been providing fire and building services since 1988, offering a combination of innovative design research and code development.

Having worked on some complex buildings and developed performance designs, Steve has intimate knowledge of fire and mechanical systems, product testing, test agencies in Australia and overseas, and construction code requirements. He is a passionate, community driven engineer, which is reflected in the business. Ferm Engineering thrives on finding solutions for all clients.
