About
🔥 PLJ Fire Design Limited — Your Trusted Partner for Safe, Compliant & Stress-Free Projects
Kia ora! I’m Sharad Arora, Fire Engineer and Director of PLJ Fire Design Limited, a consultancy built on one simple belief:
Homeowners deserve clear guidance, honest communication, and expert support at every stage of their project.
I started PLJ after years of seeing clients struggle with confusing consent processes, unclear council requirements, and a lack of genuine support from consultants once the paperwork was done. My goal is to change that. Today, PLJ Fire Design proudly helps homeowners, builders, and small developers across New Zealand achieve safe, compliant, and cost-effective outcomes — without the stress.
👥 Who We Are
PLJ Fire Design is a specialised fire engineering and compliance consultancy offering end-to-end support. Whether you’re planning renovations, building new, changing use, or dealing with unconsented works, we’re here to make the entire journey smoother.
🧱 How We Approach a New Project
Every project begins with a friendly chat to understand your goals, timelines, and challenges. I take a practical, solutions-focused approach — simplifying technical requirements and giving you a clear roadmap from start to finish.
You’ll get honest advice, proactive communication, and full visibility throughout the process.
I don’t just hand over a report and disappear — I work alongside you to ensure the design is followed on site, council queries are addressed, and you feel supported until the very end.
