What brandschutzpartner does

Brandschutzpartner GmbH is a private, founder-led fire protection consultancy founded in Dübendorf in 2016 by Ulf Müller. It serves building owners, developers, contractors, public institutions, and operators on new and renovation projects, with disclosed references across government, healthcare, financial services, education and research, transport, hospitality, retail, and logistics.

Its service portfolio covers fire protection concepts, smoke extraction, planning and consulting, VKF quality assurance at QSS 1-3, authority liaison and acceptance, integral safety testing, fire brigade and escape plans, and evacuation concepts and exercises. The technical method combines standards-based project work with computer-based fire, smoke, and evacuation simulation and scenario documentation; no proprietary software platform is disclosed.

The firm earns revenue through per-project consulting and planning mandates priced by scope, project phase, building type, and complexity. It sells through direct engagement and referrals from architects, specialist planners, and authorities, with no resellers, distributors, marketplace channel, public pricing, recurring-revenue disclosure, or disclosed international expansion.
