Retrospective Fire Strategy assesses how an existing building initially met fire safety requirements during its construction according to the Building Regulations.
Key Benefits of Retrospective Fire Strategy:
01 Reflecting Current Use and Construction:
A retrospective strategy considers the building’s current purpose, layout, and any modifications made.
It ensures fire safety measures align with the building’s present function and occupancy.02 Listing Fire Safety Measures:
The strategy compiles a detailed inventory of existing fire safety features.03 Creating Basis for Risk Assessments:
By documenting safety measures, the strategy provides a clear foundation for risk assessments. It helps identify vulnerabilities and prioritise necessary improvements.When creating Retrospective Fire strategies, we focus on straightforward and pragmatic solutions that prioritise the safety of people and property. This can involve using engineered approaches beyond standard guidelines.

Compartmentation plays a critical role in preventing the rapid spread of fire and smoke within a building. By creating fire-resistant barriers, it allows occupants to escape safely and minimises damage caused by fire incidents.
Key Benefits of a Compartmentation Survey:
01 Understanding Design and Location: A survey helps you grasp the layout and positioning of compartments within the building.
02 Assessing Compartment Condition: It evaluates the current state of compartmentation, identifying any weaknesses or breaches.
03 Risk Management: By recognising potential risks, you can proactively enhance safety. This might involve adjusting fire safety protocols or implementing practical engineering solutions that balance protection with budget considerations.
