Meet the Team

The people behind the passive fire work.

The people who manage the projects, review the technical decisions, supervise delivery on site, and answer the phone when something on a job needs sorting out.

  • Scott Cunningham, Project Manager · Compliance at Fire Rated Systems

    Scott Cunningham

    Project Manager · Compliance

    Project Management Degree

    Scott manages passive fire projects through delivery — programme, site coordination, technical queries and the records that close a job out. A carpenter by trade with a degree in project management, and more than 25 years in passive fire across the UK and Australia, which is why the harder technical questions tend to end up with him.

  • Emily Belcena, Project Coordinator at Fire Rated Systems

    Emily Belcena

    Project Coordinator

    Civil Engineer

    Emily coordinates the day-to-day running of projects — scheduling crews to site, supplier orders, variations, and keeping project documentation current as the work moves, and is often the first point of contact for builders and site teams once a job is underway. Emily is a civil engineer by training, so the drawings and schedules a project runs on are read and understood rather than filed and forwarded.

  • Julius Pascua, Service Coordinator at Fire Rated Systems

    Julius Pascua

    Service Coordinator

    Civil Engineer

    Julius schedules and coordinates inspection and maintenance work — booking site access, dispatching crews and tracking the reports that come back from site — and is the contact for facility, asset and strata managers booking work in. A civil engineering degree means a reported condition is understood before it is scheduled, so the right people and the right information reach site together.

  • Cris Iñigo, Quality Assurance at Fire Rated Systems

    Cris Iñigo

    Quality Assurance

    Mechanical Engineer

    Cris checks installed work against the tested system and the project documents, and makes sure the photographs, asset data and records behind each item are complete before handover. A mechanical engineering degree and a detailed working knowledge of how passive fire systems are built and how they behave mean Cris is also who the site and project teams go to when a condition does not match the detail.

  • Reynold Abique, Quantity Surveyor at Fire Rated Systems

    Reynold Abique

    Quantity Surveyor

    Civil Engineer

    Reynold handles the commercial side of projects — measurement, quantities, progress claims, variations and cost reporting, from award through to final account. Most variations start as a technical change rather than a commercial one, so Reynold, a civil engineer by training, works from the systems and details themselves rather than from quantities alone, and can say what a change to them really involves.

  • Ashley Almarez, Estimator at Fire Rated Systems

    Ashley Almarez

    Estimator

    Civil Engineer

    Ashley prices the work — taking off quantities from drawings and schedules, identifying the tested systems a scope requires, and building the tender that goes back out. Pricing passive fire properly means knowing what the detail actually requires, so Ashley, a civil engineer by training, reads a set of documents technically as well as commercially and raises what will not work on site before it is priced.

  • Denille Domingo, Accounts Officer at Fire Rated Systems

    Denille Domingo

    Accounts Officer

    Qualified Accountant

    A qualified accountant, Denille looks after the day-to-day financial administration of the business — accounts processing, reconciliations, invoicing and supplier accounts — and keeps the records accurate and up to date. She works closely with the management and operations teams, and is usually the person a client with a query about an invoice or a progress claim ends up speaking to.

01

How FRS is set up

FRS brings project, site and technical experience into one group so information moves quickly between the people reviewing a condition and the people delivering the work. Clear responsibility, direct communication, and a record of who reviewed what.

02

A technical question reaches a person

Where an answer depends on drawings, test evidence or a site condition, it goes to someone who has dealt with that condition before — not to a general answer, and not to a template.

That applies to a question asked on site, a defect on a register, and a detail that has to be resolved before the work can proceed.

Most of the work happens a long way from a desk.

Crews work under a supervisor who is on the job with them, not on the end of a phone. They install it on new builds, inspect and maintain what is already there, repair what needs it, and record all of it.

Drawings, photos or a defect report in front of you?

Send what you already have. We will tell you what else is needed before the work can be reviewed, priced or booked for site inspection.
