The maximisation of productive \u2018foot-print\u2019 on commercial and office buildings is a key concern for architects and developers, which may run counter to prescriptive codes for staircase provision. In addition, the achievement of large open areas in the form of atria and open-plan offices may run contrary to fire compartmentation requirements.<\/p>\n
Using well-established fire safety engineering principles, we work within a design team to develop a scheme that holds true to the architectural concept, while satisfying Building Control and other regulatory stakeholder requirements. We are also experienced in specifying all the required systems that should be incorporated into a robust fire safety strategy, including smoke control, fire suppression and automatic fire detection.<\/p>\n
