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."
NBC 2016, NFPA 72, EN 54 and BS 5839.
HVAC, lifts, doors, PA and access wired into the fire matrix.
Statutory testing, faults and remediation documented.
Multi-vendor by design — devices, controllers, VMS, DSP and CMS are matched to the estate, compliance regime and operations model.

Scope in detail
- 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.
- 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.
- Sounder / Strobe Notification
Coded sounders, wall and ceiling strobes, VADs and combined notification devices designed to audibility and visibility standards across all occupied areas.
- 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.
- Suppression System Interfacing
Monitoring and release interfaces for FM-200, Novec, CO2, water-mist and sprinkler systems, kitchen ANSUL and dedicated hazard suppression.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Design
Zoning, detector selection, panel and network topology, cause-and-effect matrix, suppression interfaces and integration with BMS and life-safety systems.
- Deploy
Cabling, device and panel installation, cause-and-effect commissioning, third-party validation, AHJ walkthrough support and log-book handover.
- Operate & Improve
Scheduled statutory testing, device replacement, panel firmware, log-book upkeep, remediation of faults and AHJ evidence packaging under support contracts.
