Ensuring Fire Safety Designs Comply with Building Regulations

All new buildings and existing buildings which undergo a material extension, 变更, or change of use must be 设计ed and constructed in compliance with Building Regulations. Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014 (BCAR) furthermore require owners, 建筑商, and registered construction professionals to demonstrate that works have been 设计ed and constructed in compliance with Building Regulations through mandatory 设计 certification, lodgment of plans and particulars, and builder’s supervision and certification. BCAR regulations includes works related to 消防安全 设计.

Fire Safety Ancillary Certifier 服务

在BCAR, building compliance must be verified by a mandatory 检查 plan prepared by an appointed Assigned Certifier with inter-reliance on 检查 and ancillary certification by key parties involved in the building process. This will affect certain works including those requiring a Fire Safety Certificate. Our qualified 消防安全 engineers can act as Ancillary Certifiers for 消防安全 certification and ensure that all work related to 消防安全 设计, 包括逃生方式, potential for fire spread and fire services access, complies with Building Regulations.

Fire Safety Certificate Application

Fire Safety Certificates (FSC) will certify that a project, if constructed in accordance with submitted plans and documents, is compliant with the 消防安全 requirements set out in the Building Regulations. FSCs are necessary when an applicant proposes a new building or new extension, 材料变更, or change of use for an existing building. Our team can help prepare FSC applications and the supporting materials required for submission to the local Building Control Authority. This includes preparation of maps, plans, 消防安全 reports and compliance documents.
