We provide specialist consultancy in life safety systems, offering independent and informed support to clients across the full lifecycle of a building. From early concept design and planning through detailed design, construction, commissioning, and ongoing operation, we help ensure life safety considerations are properly addressed at every stage.
Our role is to provide clarity, assurance, and technical confidence. We work to ensure life safety systems are fully compliant with applicable standards and legislation, effectively coordinated with other building systems, and appropriate for the intended use and risk profile of the building. By doing so, we help clients manage risk, meet regulatory obligations, and safeguard occupants, property, and the long-term continuity of their operations.
Life safety systems play a fundamental role in protecting occupants, property, and business continuity in any building. When these systems are poorly coordinated, inadequately defined, or designed without full consideration of regulatory and operational requirements, the consequences can be significant. These may include increased risk to life, non-compliance with legislation, delays to construction programmes, and costly remedial works late in the project or after occupation.
Our consultancy services provide independent oversight and technical clarity across all stages of a project. We support clients by reviewing and guiding the design, installation, and ongoing management of life safety systems to ensure they meet applicable standards, statutory requirements, and recognised best practice. By taking an objective and structured approach, we help ensure that life safety systems perform as intended and are fully integrated with the wider building design.
We work proactively with all stakeholders, including clients, designers, contractors, and authorities, to identify potential issues at an early stage. This collaborative approach allows risks to be managed before they escalate, supports informed decision-making, and contributes to safer, more efficient project delivery throughout the entire lifecycle of the building.
We offer comprehensive consultancy services across all key life safety disciplines, providing independent expertise and acting as a trusted technical partner to clients, designers, contractors, and building owners. Our approach is collaborative and solutions focused, ensuring life safety requirements are clearly defined, understood, and effectively implemented throughout the project.
Our support is flexible and can be tailored to suit the specific needs of each project. Whether you require high level strategic advice, independent technical review, or full lifecycle involvement from concept through to occupation and ongoing operation, we adapt our services to align with your objectives, risk profile, and regulatory obligations.
We develop clear and robust life safety strategies specifically addressing fire detection, alarm, voice communication, and fire suppression systems. Our strategies align system selection and performance requirements with the building design, occupancy, and applicable regulatory framework, providing a coordinated and compliant foundation for delivery.
We provide independent technical review of life safety system designs, including detection, alarm, voice alarm, sprinkler, water mist, hydrant, and gaseous suppression systems. Our reviews focus on compliance, system coordination, interface management, and performance against relevant standards and project requirements.
We offer expert guidance on the codes, standards, and legislation applicable to life safety systems such as ASD, fire detection, PAVA, EVC, and fire suppression systems. This ensures designs and installations meet current regulatory expectations and authority requirements.
During construction, we provide ongoing technical support relating to the installation of life safety systems. This includes responding to technical queries, reviewing design changes, and supporting coordination between detection, alarm, voice communication, and suppression systems to maintain compliance as the project evolves.
We support the commissioning and verification of life safety systems to confirm that fire detection, alarm, voice alarm, EVC, and suppression systems are installed, integrated, and operating as intended. This includes review of commissioning records, cause and effect, system interfaces, and certification.
