FIRE SAFETY STRATEGIES & PROJECT SUPPORT

• Expert guidance early on to ensure that there is a minimum of abortive work.
• Value engineering advice to ensure that there is no unintentional overprovision.
• Design freedom by informed, expert interpretation of the standards and by applying fire engineering principles where appropriate. Sometimes it is inappropriate to follow what a code recommends in terms of cost or practicality – and we will advise and guide you where this is the case.
• Fire safety management at an early stage. The new requirements of (Fire Safety) Building Regulations can be expediently incorporated into a Fire Safety Strategy.
• Liaison with the statutory authorities – undertaken by people who speak the same language and have a complete understanding of the legislation and operational issues that influence their opinions and decisions. Some of our fire engineers have previously worked for the Fire Brigade or Building Control bodies at all levels.
• Project cost savings that usually significantly exceed our fees in terms of time saved by the Project Team and the avoidance of unnecessary costs.
• A wholly independent service – we have no vested interest in recommending any product or solution to a problem – so you know the advice you get is right for you.
  

Usually, our Input into a Project will Include...

• Proactively liaising with the key team members at each stage of the project via emails, telephone calls, meetings, and Fire Strategy Reports, with regard to all fire safety matters including statutory compliance, value engineering, and insurer’s requirements.
• At your Design Team Meetings, we will provide authoritative immediate advice on all fire safety matters, whenever possible.
• Attend site meetings as the project develops to ensure that the fire systems and structural fire protection specified is correctly installed.
