Fire Engineering

At Facade Creations, our in-house fire engineering team provides expert guidance for complex fire safety challenges. With Chartered and Incorporated Engineer status and membership in the Institution of Fire Engineers, our specialists bring a wealth of knowledge to every project. Many of our experts also have frontline experience as ex-brigade professionals, ensuring practical and effective fire safety solutions.

Comprehensive Fire Safety Reports and Systems

Engineering Reports

Our fire engineers conduct in-depth analyses of a building’s fire performance, assessing factors such as construction materials, escape routes, and resident profiles. We integrate findings from intrusive surveys to evaluate additional risks, including building height, usage, resident mobility concerns, and current fire safety measures. These holistic reports provide critical insights for improving fire safety across residential and commercial properties.

Fire Strategy Reports

Tailored to each building, our strategy reports detail all fire safety features and are essential for both new and existing structures. Under Regulation 38 of the Building Regulations, fire strategy reports must be included in buildings under construction and provided to the designated responsible person. Our team can develop these reports during the design phase or retrospectively for existing buildings, ensuring compliance and clarity for all stakeholders.

Fire Statement Reports

Under the Planning Gateway One requirements, planning applications for relevant buildings must demonstrate fire safety considerations before approval is granted. Our fire engineers prepare fire statement reports, documenting the measures in place for occupant safety, fire containment, and property protection. These reports justify access provisions for firefighting operations and confirm the integration of appropriate fire safety measures into the building design.

Fire Detection and Alarm Systems

Fire Alarm Design and Installation

A well-designed fire alarm system is critical for early detection and response. Whether upgrading an existing system or implementing a new one, our accredited fire safety experts provide end-to-end guidance from planning to installation. Our engineers conduct comprehensive assessments, ensuring the alarm system meets compliance requirements while addressing the specific needs of the building and its occupants. Working alongside qualified building surveyors, we design bespoke fire alarm solutions that align with industry standards and enhance safety.
