Fire Safety Certificates

A Fire Safety Certificate (FSC) shows that adequate escape facilities are present in a building. It indicates that the building’s design prevents and limits the spread of fire.

Our team of fire engineers are proactive in liaising with the client and the various design team members to find practical solutions that ensure projects are compliant with the relevant building regulations and design codes.
