UK-Compliant Fire Strategy Services
A fire strategy is a key design document that demonstrates how a development meets the functional requirements of the Building Regulations (Approved Document B – Fire Safety).
Our UK fire strategies address:
- Means of escape in case of fire
- Fire compartmentation and fire resistance
- Structural fire protection
- Active and passive fire safety measures
- Fire detection, alarm, and suppression systems
- Firefighting access and facilities
- External fire spread and façade considerations
Each strategy is tailored to the building height, use, occupancy profile, and risk level.
