Fire Alarm & Life Safety

Detect early. Alert everyone. Evacuate safely.

Design, integration and support cover addressable fire detection, notification and building-wide cause-and-effect commissioned to NBC 2016, NFPA 72, EN 54 and BS 5839. Life-safety evidence is maintained through statutory testing and AHJ-aligned documentation.

"Commissioned to code. Evidenced through the log-book."
Design Basis
Standards-aligned

NBC 2016, NFPA 72, EN 54 and BS 5839.

Building Integration
Cause-and-effect

HVAC, lifts, doors, PA and access wired into the fire matrix.

Compliance Trail
Log-book evidence

Statutory testing, faults and remediation documented.

Platform ecosystem

Multi-vendor by design — devices, controllers, VMS, DSP and CMS are matched to the estate, compliance regime and operations model.

  • Notifier by Honeywell
  • Simplex by Johnson Controls
  • Siemens Cerberus
  • Bosch AVENAR
  • Autronica
  • Advanced Electronics
  • Kentec
  • EN 54

Scope in detail

  1. Addressable Fire Detection

    Analogue-addressable smoke, heat and multi-criteria detectors, aspirating smoke detection (VESDA) and beam detectors for high-ceiling spaces engineered per site risk.

  2. Fire Alarm Control Panels

    EN 54-2 / -4 compliant control panels, networked multi-panel campuses, graphical annunciators and cause-and-effect logic engineered per site and fire strategy.

  3. Sounder / Strobe Notification

    Coded sounders, wall and ceiling strobes, VADs and combined notification devices designed to audibility and visibility standards across all occupied areas.

  4. Voice Evacuation Integration

    Cause-and-effect integration with EN 54-16 PA / VA for automated pre-alarm, phased evacuation and all-clear messaging per fire zone and floor.

  5. Suppression System Interfacing

    Monitoring and release interfaces for FM-200, Novec, CO2, water-mist and sprinkler systems, kitchen ANSUL and dedicated hazard suppression.

  6. BMS / HVAC Damper Control

    Automatic HVAC shutdown, damper actuation, lift homing, magnetic door hold-release and access-control release driven by the fire cause-and-effect matrix.

  7. NBC / NFPA / AHJ Compliance

    Design and commissioning to NBC 2016, NFPA 72, BS 5839 and local AHJ, with third-party validation and occupancy-certificate support.

  8. Statutory Testing & Log-Book

    Scheduled statutory testing, device replacement, panel firmware maintenance, log-book upkeep and breakdown response under support contracts.

Where estates break down

  • Compliance evidence lags the build

    Design submissions, third-party validation and commissioning evidence are incomplete, delaying occupancy certificates and insurance cover.

  • Cause-and-effect not fully commissioned

    HVAC shutdown, lift homing, door release, ACS fail-safe and voice evacuation do not fire correctly during test scenarios because integration was never fully exercised.

  • Legacy conventional panels reaching end-of-life

    Aging conventional panels lack addressable diagnostics, remote monitoring and integration surfaces expected by modern fire strategies.

  • No maintained log-book or test evidence

    Statutory testing, battery checks and fault records are not kept, invalidating AHJ acceptance and audit evidence at renewal or incident review.

Engagement approach

Fire and life-safety delivered as a code-driven engineering discipline with fully exercised cause-and-effect, third-party validation and evidenced statutory testing.

  1. Assess

    Fire strategy review, detector and panel inventory, cause-and-effect audit, AHJ evidence check and interface review with HVAC, lifts, ACS and PA / VA.

  2. Design

    Zoning, detector selection, panel and network topology, cause-and-effect matrix, suppression interfaces and integration with BMS and life-safety systems.

  3. Deploy

    Cabling, device and panel installation, cause-and-effect commissioning, third-party validation, AHJ walkthrough support and log-book handover.

  4. Operate & Improve

    Scheduled statutory testing, device replacement, panel firmware, log-book upkeep, remediation of faults and AHJ evidence packaging under support contracts.

Deliverables & artefacts
