A performance-based fire strategy meets the code while giving the architect freedom that a prescriptive approach often removes. We develop strategies that keep people safe, manage risk and support the design intent.
Our fire engineers work across all sectors and complexities. Our services include:

We assess fire safety in existing buildings and find practical ways to bring them up to standard, whether you are refurbishing, changing use or resolving a compliance issue. This might include:
Involved early, we set a fire strategy that protects people and property while giving the architect room to deliver the building they want. Early input avoids costly redesign late in the project.
We set out the fire safety options with their pros and cons, cost implications and buildability, so you can make an informed decision with no nasty surprises.
Fire safety touches structure, services and architecture. We coordinate the strategy across every discipline so it works as built, not just on paper.

Our chartered fire engineers have delivered strategies for hospitals, arenas, universities, hotels, prisons and other complex, high-risk buildings.
We keep people and property safe while protecting the architecture and the budget.

Fire strategy set at concept stage shapes layout, materials and cost for the whole project. Bringing us in early avoids expensive redesign later.
