We provide a clear, communicated process of fire safety compliance.
Construction fire safety considers the fire safety of your building for its entire lifespan - from the very start (concept) to the very end (demolition). You may be planning a brand new build or refurbishing an existing building – whatever your circumstances or stage of works, our construction fire safety service can help. We will identify the relevant legislation requirements for your building and work with you to help you achieve fire safety compliance. For your continued reassurance, we work as part of the golden thread.
