Fire Protection System Assessment

In existing buildings the real gap is usually between what the drawings say and what is actually installed: systems added over time, spaces that changed use, or extensions where coverage was never updated. This assessment starts on site rather than on paper, and produces a clear picture of what is there, what works, and what needs attention.

What the service covers:

• A site survey of the installed systems: detection and alarm, sprinklers and water networks, pumps, smoke control and firefighting equipment.
• Comparing the existing condition with the approved drawings, the code requirements and the building's current use.
• Checking coverage and distribution: does the protection still reach every space after the alterations and extensions?
• Reviewing escape routes and compartmentation, including operational changes made to them.
• A findings report with issues ranked by severity, and a remediation plan with priorities and their impact on operations.

When you need it: when buying or leasing a facility, changing its use or extending it, before renewing an operating approval, or after comments from a regulator or an insurer.

If what you need is a review of systems that are not built yet, the right service is fire protection systems review; for the building as a whole, see fire safety review.
