Our aim is to sensitively protect and preserve our built heritage through collaborative
design and applying conservation-led solutions. Heritage buildings are inherently unique,
so we apply core conservation principles in every aspect of our fire engineering advice.
We work with private owners, national heritage bodies,
planning authorities and conservation groups on a diverse
array of projects from iconic national landmarks to privately
listed dwellings and historical estates.
Fire is one of the most destructive and most commonly
occurring risks to heritage buildings. These risks can be reduced
at any stage of a building’s lifecycle with the support of a
qualified fire safety engineering consultancy and can be
mitigated most effectively when planning refurbishments or
alteration works.
Fire safety should be considered at the earliest possible stage,
where early identification of risks and major non-compliances
with building regulations can lead to properly protected
buildings, save overall project costs and resolve potential
conflicts between stakeholders.
We are trusted project design consultants, partnering with many
of the AJ100 on diverse and challenging historic built
environment projects. We explore enabling options to help
projects meet their potential, instead of listing reasons for not
pursuing a challenge. This is why we are trusted by architects,
developers, national heritage bodies, government organisations
and private owners.
