BUILDING SAFETY
or when there are sign-off challenges at any of these gateway approval points, resolving and retrofitting safety measures can cause unwelcome delays. The surefire way to get around these issues is including fire safety planning from the earli-est stages, and maintaining the focus on them throughout the build. This smooths the path to regulatory sign-off and safe buildings. Where projects fail to meet safety regulations at a late stage, incurring costs and causing delays to completion, the parties involved will be aware of potential damage to reputation. With building regulations so fundamental to the process, making sure that fire safety
measures are fully integrated, rather than only addressed as an after-thought, is important to demonstrating professionalism and reliability. Beyond reputational risk alone, developers can find themselves liable for safety shortcomings.
How to avoid these hidden costs, delays and penalties
By engaging expert fire safety advice early in the design process, including a comprehensive fire strategy for the building, all aspects of the development can comply with regulations, ensure safety and pass inspections to keep the project on track.
• Fire engineers can support with the shaping of building layouts, evacuation strategies, smoke control and fire resistance from the outset of the project.
• Ongoing collaboration with architects and engineers can help identify risks and remedy issues before costly construction begins.
• Once the build is underway, regular monitoring in advance of gateway site inspections can make sure that regulations are complied with, and no remedial actions are required post inspection.
