We provide specialist life safety design services during the construction phase, supporting clients, main contractors, and project teams once works are underway on site. Our role is to maintain design integrity, manage change effectively, and ensure life safety systems are delivered in accordance with the approved design intent and regulatory requirements.
By remaining involved during construction, we help resolve technical challenges as they arise, support coordinated implementation, and reduce the risk of non compliant or unbuildable solutions being introduced on site.
During construction, life safety system designs are often subject to change due to site conditions, programme pressures, or coordination challenges. Without robust design control and independent technical oversight, these changes can compromise compliance, system performance, and overall safety.
Our construction phase design services provide continuity between design and delivery. We support the project team in managing design changes, maintaining compliance, and ensuring life safety systems are installed in line with the approved strategy, specifications, and standards.
We act as a specialist life safety design advisor during the construction phase, working alongside contractors, designers, and specialist installers. Our role is to provide timely technical input, maintain design compliance, and support effective coordination across all life safety systems.
Our approach is practical and responsive, focusing on resolving issues quickly while protecting the integrity of the life safety design.
We review proposed design changes arising during construction to assess their impact on compliance, performance, and coordination. This includes evaluating substitutions, value engineering proposals, and site driven design modifications affecting life safety systems.
We support ongoing coordination between life safety systems and other building services during construction. This includes reviewing updated drawings, resolving clashes, and ensuring interfaces between detection, alarm, voice communication, and suppression systems are maintained.
We provide ongoing guidance during construction to ensure life safety system installations remain compliant with applicable standards, statutory requirements, and authority approvals, even as designs evolve.
We respond to technical queries raised during construction, providing clarification on design intent, system requirements, and compliance issues. Where required, we support site teams in resolving complex technical challenges related to life safety systems.
We support the verification of life safety system installations during construction through design focused inspections and reviews. This helps confirm that installations align with approved designs and specifications prior to commissioning.
We provide design assurance support leading up to handover, reviewing final design information, as built documentation, and system integration to ensure the life safety design intent has been achieved prior to occupation.
