•  The basics  ——

A fire strategy report sets out how a building achieves fire safety as a whole system: means of escape, compartmentation, fire service access, and how the design meets Building Regulations.

You’ll typically need one for a new build, a major refurbishment, a building control or planning submission, or where a building is complex enough that a standard fire risk assessment can’t answer the design questions.

Every report is produced personally by Ray Amoah (ABBE Level 4 qualified, DipFRA, MIFSM, FPA member), with specialist expertise in external wall fire risk appraisal (PAS 9980). You deal directly with your assessor, not a call centre.

•  Sectors  ——

Healthcare buildings carry the most demanding fire strategy requirements of any sector: progressive horizontal evacuation, dependent occupants who cannot self-evacuate, and continuity of clinical care during an incident. A hospital fire strategy has to reconcile the building’s compartmentation with the realistic movement of patients who may be bed-bound or on life support.

Residential fire strategy reports address stay-put versus simultaneous evacuation, compartmentation adequacy, and, for buildings with cladding or complex external wall build-ups, external wall fire risk appraisal to PAS 9980.

School fire strategies must account for large occupant numbers moving in supervised groups, out-of-hours community use of the premises, and phased building stock where extensions have been added over decades.

Industrial fire strategy reports deal with long travel distances, high-bay storage, process fire risk, and the fire service access and water supply provisions that Building Regulations require for large-footprint buildings.

Bespoke fire strategies for buildings where a standard assessment isn’t enough.

•  Pricing & turnaround  ——

Every fire strategy report is quoted individually against the building and the submission it needs to support. No obligation, and a clear fixed fee before any work begins.
