Frequently Asked Questions
Do you conduct fire risk assessments?
We don’t conduct fire risk assessments ourselves, but we provide technical support to fire risk assessors and help responsible persons implement recommendations with practical, compliant solutions.
What's included in a fire strategy review?
We assess whether your existing fire strategy remains appropriate for current building use, evaluate compartmentation provisions, review means of escape, and recommend updates where needed.
How much do fire protection surveys cost?
Survey costs depend on building size, complexity, and required scope. We provide detailed quotations following initial consultation.
Can you help prioritize fire safety works within our budget?
Absolutely. Our defect categorization process assesses risks, enabling you to prioritize high-risk items while planning budgets for lower-priority works.
Do you provide expert witness services?
We focus on practical fire protection delivery rather than legal proceedings, though we can provide technical reports and documentation supporting compliance demonstrations if required.
How do you stay current with fire safety regulations?
Our team maintains continuous professional development, holds Fire Aware certification, and actively monitors regulatory updates, industry guidance changes, and best practice evolution.
Can you help with Building Safety Act compliance?
Yes, we help building owners and responsible persons understand their obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022 and develop practical approaches to achieving compliance.
What's the benefit of your multi-disciplinary approach for consultancy?
Understanding both passive and active fire protection, plus building services integration, means our advice considers the whole fire protection picture, optimizing the complete fire safety strategy.
