Profire (Aust) Pty Ltd
With over 30 years of fire protection expertise, Profire (Aust) Pty Ltd ensures critical fire alarm and essential safety systems are delivered reliably, compliantly, and with seamless integration, even on tightly constrained inner-city sites like Bennetts Lane.
Operating since 2011 under the Profire banner (formerly Firelec), the company specialises in the full lifecycle of fire and electrical services, from design and installation through to long-term servicing and emergency response.
The Bennetts Lane project demanded precision, compliance and reliability at every stage. “Fire systems are not an area where you can take shortcuts. Everything must integrate seamlessly with the building and perform exactly as intended when it matters most,” explained Dean Borg, Director of Profire. “Our focus is always on delivering systems that are robust, compliant and easy to maintain long after handover.”
For Bennetts Lane, Profire delivered the installation of dry fire alarm systems, emergency warning and intercommunication systems (EWIS), and associated detection infrastructure, all co-ordinated alongside the broader construction programme. The company’s qualifications span electrical contracting, cabling, building practitioner licensing and Fire Protection Association (FPA) membership, underpinned by extensive insurance coverage and 24/7 emergency service capability .
Dean believes performance on site is measured not only by technical delivery, but by reliability. “Meeting programme and compliance without disruption to the builder is just as important as the systems themselves,” he says. “At Bennetts Lane, the team delivered on time, without delays, and with no negative feedback from the client, that’s something we’re proud of.”
With an extensive project history across residential towers, commercial precincts, education facilities and retail environments, Profire continues to build its reputation as a trusted fire protection specialist. At Bennetts Lane, the company’s disciplined delivery and deep technical capability ensured the development’s life-safety systems were installed to the highest standard.

AVRUS
As education environments continue to evolve, technology integration has become central to the design of modern learning spaces. For AVRUS, the New Schools Bundle B program presented an opportunity to deliver advanced audiovisual and communication systems designed to enhance teaching outcomes and support long-term operational performance.
Working alongside Hutchinson Builders, AVRUS provided a comprehensive technology package across multiple schools. “We provided the public addressing systems, in-classroom teaching systems, hearing augmentation, and the large-format LED screens for the gymnasiums and presentation systems,” said Shaun Foo, Managing Director.
Originally specified with projectors and projector screens, the gymnasium systems were redesigned by AVRUS under the design-and-construct process to deliver a more durable and future-focused outcome.
“We thought projectors wouldn’t be the best long-term result for teachers and schools,” Shaun explained. “So we redesigned the solution to include LED walls, which provide better serviceability and longevity.”
In addition to LED wall installations, AVRUS worked to ensure public address systems were fully integrated into the Victorian School Building Authority network, allowing remote monitoring and improved safety outcomes. “That was a big push for us,” Shaun explained. “If a PA system goes down, the department knows immediately, and that’s ultimately about safety for the students.”
The project required careful co-ordination, with multiple schools under construction at the same time, with rapid delivery programs, managing resources across several active sites demanded precision. “The buildings were going up at the same time, so we had to manage our workforce to cover multiple sites,” Shaun said. “Last year [2025] we delivered eight schools, so it was a busy period.”
With more than 25 schools delivered across Victoria in recent years, AVRUS continues to build a strong presence in the education sector. “We’re always looking for the best outcome for the client,” Shaun said. “We thank Hutchinson Builders for the collaboration throughout this project. We’re extremely proud of what our teams delivered together across the three schools”

Lantrack Electrical Services
Delivering modern learning environments demands electrical systems that are reliable, compliant and built for the future. For the New Schools Bundle B, Lantrak Electrical Services was instrumental in bringing these next-generation education facilities to life.
The scope required seamless integration of multiple systems while maintaining strict compliance with education and safety standards. From general power distribution to structured data networks and essential services infrastructure, Lantrak ensured every element supported both day-to-day learning and long-term operational performance.
“We were responsible for the full electrical installation across the new schools, delivering power, lighting, data and essential services to meet government standards and project requirements,” explained Business Manager Jason Weinberger.
Working within live construction environments and tight programme schedules, the team’s decade of experience in complex commercial builds proved invaluable. “Our expertise in large-scale construction projects and complex electrical installations allows us to deliver efficient, high-quality outcomes, even in demanding environments,” said Jason.
With a workforce of more than 80 specialists, Lantrak continues to build a strong reputation across Victoria’s large-scale construction and infrastructure sector.
