Fire Safety Guidance
Let’s start with the big picture and limit the confusion.
In recent years, the insurance landscape has changed and the direct result is an increase in risk to all involved in the design process as well as building owners.
We are qualified and experienced Building Surveyors with over 80 years of experience with the building codes and fire safety in commercial buildings We have the credentials to provide the best, balanced advice.
We encourage fire-engineering
Building Surveyors are uniquely placed on the design team to ensure the best fire engineered solutions are achieved, in line with the design strategy and in the interests of the stakeholders.
DFES Process – As registered level 1 building surveyors we are required to formally lodge fire engineering proposals with DFES for review and comment, for which they have 15 working days before we are able to issue a CDC for Tender or Building Permit.
We offer a balanced perspective on high-level fire engineering concepts and can identify long-term implications and or for informed decisions to be made.
Fire engineering can present a short-term fix or value design proposition, but how does it affect the design-life of the building? What are the ongoing costs?
Speak to us about what you would like to achieve for your building and we will guide you to a suitable fire engineering company or pathway to achieve the best outcomes for your projects
We can advise on the likelihood of successful fire engineered solutions, which saves you time.
