Fire Strategy Development
A fire strategy is the engineering backbone of a safe building: it sets out how the building protects life in a fire — means of escape, compartmentation, structural protection, smoke control, firefighting access and management arrangements - and the basis on which those measures were designed.
Fire Strategies for New Developments
We develop fire strategies that support design teams from concept through building warrant and construction, giving architects, engineers and approving authorities a clear, coordinated statement of how the design achieves compliance.
Retrospective Fire Strategies for Existing Buildings
Many existing buildings have no fire strategy at all — or the original records are lost. That gap surfaces at the worst moments: during a fire risk assessment, a refurbishment, a sale, or an enquiry from the fire authority. We produce retrospective fire strategies by investigating the building as it actually exists: surveying its construction and escape provisions, verifying compartmentation, and documenting the strategy the building relies on — together with any shortfalls that need addressing.
Evidence-Led, As Always
Where the building's construction is uncertain, we verify it — through investigation, material identification, and LiDAR capture of the building as built. A strategy is only as good as the facts beneath it.
Who This Is For
Developers and design teams; owners and managers of existing buildings facing refurbishment, change of use, or regulatory scrutiny; duty holders whose fire risk assessment has identified a missing strategy.
