for Fire Safety & Compliance
At Façade Creations, we offer a range of specialised services designed to ensure buildings meet fire safety and building performance standards. Our expertise extends beyond regulatory compliance, providing bespoke solutions that cater to complex design, testing, and project management needs.
BS 8414 Design & Testing
BS 8414 is a critical fire testing standard used to assess the fire performance of external wall systems when exposed to an external fire under controlled conditions.
Our BS 8414 Services Include:
- Design & Build of full-scale test rigs: We can create and test external wall systems to BS 8414-1 or BS 8414-2 standards.
- Fire Performance Testing: We simulate real-life fire exposure to assess how your system performs.
- Compliance Proving: Testing to validate new cladding products and installed façades, ensuring fire safety compliance in line with regulations.
With extensive experience in replicating installed façades for testing, we provide robust evidence for compliance with fire safety regulations.
PCSA Agreement Management
Pre-Contract Service Agreement (PCSA) management is a key component of the early stages in any construction project.
Our PCSA Services Include:
- Documentation Creation: We manage the creation and drafting of all PCSA-related documents, ensuring clarity and compliance.
- Fortnightly Meetings: We chair regular meetings throughout the PCSA programme to ensure smooth progress and timely decision-making.
- Process Management: From contract negotiations to final approvals, our team handles the entire PCSA management process, providing full oversight and transparency.
This service ensures your project starts on the right footing, with clear contractual obligations and effective management of early-stage requirements.
Concept Design for Building Safety Fund Remediation
For buildings seeking remediation funding, a thorough concept design is crucial in preparing for safety improvements.
Our Concept Design Services Include:
- Intrusive Inspections: We conduct detailed inspections of external wall systems as part of the concept design phase for Building Safety Fund projects.
- Assessment for Remediation: These inspections help identify areas requiring fire safety improvements and form the basis of safety strategies tailored to the building’s specific needs.
- Compliant Design Solutions: The concept design will detail necessary updates to ensure compliance with Building Safety Fund criteria.
By identifying potential hazards early, we enable effective remediation planning and a smooth funding application process.
