People Focused

Principled

Our most important clients are the people who use the buildings we work on, and rely on our work to deliver an appropriate level of fire safety now and in the future
We invest time to clearly understand design aspirations and specific challenges for each project
Assess before designing - “diagnosing” before “prescribing”
Treat compliance with Building Regulations as our North Star
Prioritise a robust, buildable and practically implementable holistic approach over blind application of generic guidance

We don’t:

Recommend solutions that we would not unconditionally rely on for our own fire safety
Whitewash over key issues, justify substandard solutions, look the other way, rely excessively on generic guidance or place undue faith in numerical results
"Get around..." or "Get away with..." Our mission is to deliver fire engineered outcomes
Focus on minor aspects which have little impact on delivering a fire safety solution
Implement "no worse than existing" if the existing arrangement objectively poses an unacceptable level of risk to life
Support "but we did it this way on another project" as validation for what is right for your project
