Fire Safety Certificate application support

Planning a commercial project, apartment scheme, alteration or change of use? Raise the fire safety requirements at the outset so the project team can establish the appropriate application and technical scope.

Does the project need an FSC?

Requirements depend on the building and proposed works. An FSC may be relevant to non-domestic buildings, apartments and certain alterations or changes of use. It is not a certificate required for every ordinary house extension.

Bring the available information

Send the address, existing and proposed use, drawings and details of any previous certificates or authority correspondence. Des can discuss the technical coordination needed and the appropriate specialist involvement for your proposal.

Agree the professional scope

Any appointment for application preparation, drawings or coordination is agreed after review of the project and the professional team. Specialist fire design and statutory sign-off must be undertaken by appropriately competent professionals. The relevant Building Control Authority issues the certificate.

Requirements depend on the building and proposed works. We can review the project and identify the appropriate technical support and statutory process. Any application or specialist appointment is subject to an agreed scope.
