Appoint a fire engineer for your projectTECHNICAL PERSPECTIVES
Read our insightsEngineering and project planning
A better brief makes room for better engineering
The information that helps an engineering appointment start with a clear purpose, useful boundaries and the right questions.
Read the perspectiveWhere fire strategy meets mechanical design
Why air paths, controls, plant space and the building layout need to be considered as connected design decisions.
Read the perspectiveWhat an existing-asset review should establish
A structured review starts by separating the available evidence, the observations and the questions that remain open.
Read the perspectiveWhat does a fire engineering appointment cover?
The scope can include the fire strategy, rational design, fire plans, protection-system calculations and specifications, design coordination and implementation support. FESOL agrees the deliverables, responsibilities and required site involvement with you before work starts. Explore our engineering capabilities or approach to project delivery.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the site location, building use, available drawings and the work you need completed. Existing fire reports, authority comments, insurer requirements and the project programme help us define the appointment. If the information is incomplete, tell us what is available so we can identify the first assessment needed.
Can FESOL coordinate with our insurer?
Where included in the appointment, we engage with the client’s insurer or risk engineer to identify property-protection and business-continuity requirements alongside the applicable prescriptive requirements. See our work with complex and existing assets.
