- Professional BOMBA M&E fire-protection-system submission and fire-safety compliance coordination services for projects in Malaysia. We assist with reviewing the project scope and premises use, coordinating available architectural and M&E documents, identifying the relevant fire-protection-system information, liaising with the project owner, contractor, consultant, landlord, or building management, supporting authority submission and correspondence coordination, and following up on comments or document requirements from the relevant parties. Our service is suitable for new buildings, shop-lot renovations, office fit-outs, factories, warehouses, restaurants, cafés, commercial kitchens, workshops, industrial premises, healthcare premises, schools, childcare centres, hotels, retail premises, and projects involving fire-protection-system installation or upgrading.
