Design
We interpret codes and standards and apply fire engineering from concept strategy, plans review and planning application to detailed design.
Specify
We assist the wider design team in setting the minimum standard and appropriate specification for active and passive fire safety systems. Asking the right questions of suppliers during bid phase and helping with selection. In this way a single focal point is created for all fire related information.
Deliver
We clarify project aims be they, statutory compliance and life safety through property and asset protection to environmental or reputational damage limitation. Our input to the project brief will help establish the ground rules.

We are on hand to witness testing on all active and passive fire systems before the building is handed over. We work with our clients to advise on the implementation of the fire safety design.
Use
We carry out fire risk assessments and apply our fire risk management knowledge to ensure efficient and effective governance of fire risk. Our expertise helps the people occupying the building meet all the appropriate statutory requirements.
