Achieving the highest level of fire life safety (FLS) in the design of any building, structure, or facility requires an optimal and compliant approach with relevant building codes. At Veracious Fire, we specialize in ensuring that your project adheres to local and international fire safety regulations, minimizing risks, and avoiding costly non-compliance.
Our team conducts comprehensive plan reviews to verify compliance with building codes and standards, ensuring that every fire safety strategy is meticulously developed to prevent overdesign, abortive works, or non-compliance—all of which can significantly impact project timelines and costs.
A fire safety strategy is an integrated framework of measures aimed at fire prevention, fire safety management, and fire protection. This strategy draws upon prescriptive codes and/or performance-based designs to meet the specific fire safety objectives of a given project.
Key Elements of a Fire Safety Strategy
A fire safety strategy is typically formulated during the design phase of new developments or refurbishment projects. It serves as the foundation document outlining the critical requirements that guide the development of detailed specifications. This strategy empowers building owners, occupants, and facility managers to implement effective fire prevention and protection systems tailored to their projects.
A comprehensive fire safety strategy includes:
- Fire safety objectives
- Design criteria, including relevant codes and standards
- Building and occupancy classifications
- Fire service provisions
- Fire compartmentation, structural fire resistance, and control of external fire spread
- Means of egress
- Fire protection systems
- Smoke management systems
Additionally, our fire safety strategy may incorporate performance-based designs and advanced fire engineering analyses, including fire modeling, evacuation modeling, structural fire analysis, and radiation assessments. To maintain the effectiveness of the strategy throughout the building’s life cycle, we include control measures for ongoing maintenance and operational fire safety management.
At Veracious Fire, we ensure that every fire safety strategy is tailored to the specific project while remaining aligned with our core principles of Safety, Innovation, and Sustainability.
