Pre-Occupancy & Development Fire Risk Assessment
Supporting architects and developers with practical, compliant fire safety guidance prior to occupancy.
Why choose us for your pre-occupation or development project?
​
We provide thorough pre-occupation fire risk assessments for offices, newly built or converted flats, holiday accommodation and multi-storey residential buildings. Whether you are preparing a property for first occupation or completing works prior to handover, we ensure your premises are assessed clearly and proportionately before they are brought into use.
For private residential buildings over two storeys where Building Control sign-off is required, we assess key life safety provisions including fire doors, compartmentation, means of escape, fire detection and emergency lighting. Our approach ensures practical compliance without unnecessary complication or delay.
Supporting Safe Occupation & Building Control Approval
We understand the pressures that come with project completion and occupation deadlines. Our assessments are structured to support developers, architects and property owners in demonstrating compliance prior to occupation.
If remedial actions are required, we provide clear, proportionate recommendations that align with current guidance and Building Regulations, helping you achieve a smooth sign-off process.
Practical Guidance During Redesign & Conversion
If you are redesigning or converting a building — whether creating flats, office space or holiday lets — we can provide fire safety input at planning or pre-completion stage.
Early advice often prevents costly alterations later. From fire door specification to layout considerations and means of escape strategy, we offer pragmatic support to ensure life safety is embedded within your design.
Whether you are a developer, architect or private owner preparing a multi-storey dwelling for occupation, we are here to support you with clear, competent and compliance-focused fire risk assessments that prioritise safe occupation from day one.
