With over 30 years' fire engineering experience, Fire Element Engineers UK Ltd. advises architects, developers and building owners on fire safety design and Part B Building Regulations compliance.
Fire Element Engineers UK Limited is a fire safety consultancy specialising in advice to architects and developers on new-build and existing building design, with over 30 years' experience in the field.
Involving a fire engineer early — at concept or planning stage — consistently reduces cost and risk later in a project, and opens up design flexibility that a purely prescriptive approach doesn't allow.
From first sketch to occupied building, we advise on the fire safety issues that shape a design — and keep it compliant once it's in use.
Fire safety strategy reports and drawings supporting Building Regulations submissions (Approved Document B, or BS 9999 where appropriate), prepared alongside the design team.
Assessments of existing buildings against the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, with a prioritised action plan.
Evacuation analysis and means-of-escape design, including phased and progressive horizontal evacuation strategies.
Ongoing advice during construction to confirm the building is going up in line with the agreed fire strategy.
Bringing a fire consultant in at the planning stage can reduce a project's overall cost, and gives architects and developers room to move away from purely prescriptive guidance toward more innovative design solutions.
Whether you're at concept stage or need a fire strategy produced or a fire safety risk assessment undertaken, get in touch and we'll come back to you directly.
