Fire Strategy Creation
Thermotel can support the creation, review and updating of fire strategy documents, helping you understand how your building is designed to perform in the event of a fire and whether current arrangements still reflect the way the building is used today.
Your challenges
A fire strategy sets out how a building is intended to perform in the event of a fire, including escape routes, compartmentation, fire resistance, evacuation principles and other key fire safety measures.
For many buildings, the challenge is that the original fire strategy may be missing, outdated or no longer aligned with how the building is used. Layouts may have changed, services may have been added, and previous works may not have been properly reflected in the documentation.
This can make it difficult to carry out meaningful fire risk assessments, plan remedial works or demonstrate that the building remains safe and compliant.
Thermotel can help you review the position, understand any gaps and create or update the fire strategy information needed to support the building going forward.
What we do
Thermotel can support a range of fire strategy requirements, from reviewing existing information through to helping create updated documentation where records are missing, incomplete or no longer accurate.
Our services include:
Fire Strategy
- Fire strategy reviews
- Creation of new fire strategy documents
- Updates to existing fire strategies
- Support following fire risk assessments, audits or building changes
Fire Strategy markups
- Fire strategy mark-ups
- Review of escape routes, compartmentation and fire resistance requirements
The output will depend on the building and the level of information required, but may include written strategy documentation, marked-up drawings, practical observations and recommendations for further action.
How it works
Potential visit site to provide quote, dependent on information provided
Initial discussion
We discuss the building, the information you already hold and the reason the fire strategy is needed or being reviewed.
Review of existing information
Where available, we review drawings, previous fire strategy documents, fire risk assessments, survey reports and any relevant building information.
Site visit if required
Depending on the building and the quality of the existing information, a site visit may be needed to understand the layout, use of the building and current fire safety arrangements.
Strategy or mark-up preparation
We prepare the agreed output, which may include a written fire strategy, updates to existing documentation, marked-up drawings or supporting observations.
