Fire Safety is of fundamental importance to all that design, manage and operate buildings, transport systems and industrial facilities. Compliance with fire regulations need not mean the sacrifice of vision, innovation and imagination.

offer a comprehensive independent and professional fire safety consultancy service, built upon a blend of practical experience and technical expertise. Engineers and scientists of various disciplines, together with statutory and regulatory experts, provide a wealth of fire safety engineering knowledge which can be brought to bear in a number of key areas, from small and specialist projects through to large multi-use complex buildings.

Our wide ranging expertise encompasses:

• Fire safety engineering
• structural fire protection
• smoke control
• fire safety systems
• management procedures
• fire risk assessment
• fire safety cases
• evacuation strategies
• research and testing
• fire investigation
• design checking service

With the increasing complexity of modern design and the need for greater space utilization, designers are often faced with difficult compromises between design aspiration and the apparent regulatory constraint.

Despite these difficulties fire safety remains paramount. The early involvement of ensures that designs can be developed with minimal compromise and in a cost efficient way, whilst still realising the overall vision of he client, architect and engineer.

By working alongside the development team we can ensure that the fire safety requirements are fully met in a cost effective manner. We can provide:

• recommendations at the outline design stage
• development of fire safety strategies
• insurance and loss prevention needs
• negotiation with statutory bodies

The advantages of this approach are that the design is more cost effective, regulatory bodies are more sympathetic to innovative design, architectural and functional aspirations can be met and costly delays due to design amendments are minimised.
