Who we are

A specialist fire and hydraulic design consultancy in Brisbane.

Agnex documents fire protection and hydraulic services for buildings across Brisbane, Queensland and Australia-wide — to the relevant Australian Standards and the National Construction Code — and coordinates both disciplines within a single Revit model.

01

Two disciplines, one team

Fire and hydraulic designed together, not handed between consultants — fewer interfaces, fewer clashes, one coordinated model.

02

Extensive experience

Our team brings experience across major Australian projects — commercial, health, education, aviation and cultural — applied to every engagement, large or small.

03

Direct senior accountability

The engineer responsible for your design carries it through to completion, backed by dedicated documentation and production capacity.

Shared values — what we believe in

Five values — one in every letter of our name.

A

Advocacy & Uplift

We use our work to develop elite technical talent — uplifting lives and industries, not just filling roles.

G

Growth Through Effort

We lean into discomfort and stretch our capabilities, because it's the prerequisite for real development.

N

Network Ecosystems

We build genuine relationships and scale so that when Agnex wins, the whole ecosystem prospers.

E

Exacting Detail

We obsess over the final 5% to deliver bulletproof quality that earns trust on the first pass.

X

eXceptional Accountability

We take radical ownership and tell the truth with clarity — especially when it's hard.

  • Revit modelling & clash coordination
Hydraulic Services Design

Resilient water, sanitary and drainage systems.

Hydraulic services design across water, sanitary, stormwater, trade waste, plumbing and drainage — from concept design to council permit applications.

Coordinated from concept through construction, and delivered to the AS/NZS 3500 series and the NCC.

We specialise in
  • Cold & hot water service & reticulation
  • Sanitary plumbing & drainage
  • Stormwater & on-site detention
  • Hydraulic plumbing permit applications
  • Trade waste & grease management
  • As-built documentation
  • Authority liaison & approvals

Brisbane Documentation Services

Fire and hydraulic documentation, delivered fast.

Engineer-led design and documentation for builders, contractors and consultancies in Brisbane and beyond — with quick turnaround on the deliverables that keep your project moving.

01

Dry fire design

Fire detection and alarm system design and documentation to AS 1670 — for new builds, fitouts and upgrades across Brisbane and Australia-wide.

02

Fire shop drawings

Construction-phase fire protection shop drawings and schematics — detection, occupant warning and sprinkler — produced in Revit and AutoCAD to your title block.

03

Hydraulic design

Hydraulic services design for commercial, multi-tenancy and fitout projects — water, sanitary, stormwater and trade waste, sized and documented for construction.

04

Hydraulic permit applications

Plumbing permit application drawings and documentation for Brisbane City Council and regional Queensland councils — prepared for smooth lodgement and approval.

05

As-built documentation

Fire and hydraulic as-built drawings produced from site markups — accurate, standards-compliant as-builts for handover, certification and asset records.

06

Compliance review

Independent review of fire and hydraulic documentation against Australian Standards and the NCC — before it costs you on site.

Quick turnaround

Documentation structured around your programme — dedicated production capacity means shop drawings, permit sets and as-builts are turned around fast, without sacrificing quality.

Extensive experience

Senior engineering experience across major Australian projects — from billion-dollar precincts to single-tenancy fitouts — brought to every drawing set we issue.

Full Lifecycle

Across the full project lifecycle.

Both disciplines, all phases — one integrated team from first feasibility advice to commissioning support.
