Answer:
Yes — Expandify homes are fully compliant with Australian fire safety regulations under the National Construction Code (NCC) for Class 1a dwellings.

Fire safety inclusions:

  • Hardwired, interconnected smoke alarms in all habitable rooms
    • 50m² dwellings: x4 smoke alarms
    • 80m² dwellings: x6 smoke alarms
  • Emergency egress compliance via multiple external doors and sliding windows
  • Bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans included to reduce fire risk from moisture and appliances
  • Fire-resistant insulation (Rockwool in walls and ceilings)

All inclusions are pre-certified before handover and documented in the Handover Pack for council and insurance compliance.
