On 2021, the amendment to the Fire Safety Act entered into force
It is a legal obligation when constructing or renovating.
Protection of property and assurance that your building is safe both during construction and later use.
Important for obtaining an occupancy permit – verification that construction work has been carried out according to requirements.
Insurance companies may not cover damages in case of an accident if fire safety requirements are not met.
It helps to identify hazards which could be fatal in case of a fire.
A responsible step for you as a building owner, ensuring the safety of the users of the building and property in case of danger.
Structural fire safety means that during construction or renovation, the builder or owner takes all the necessary steps to ensure the building is safe and complies with current fire safety regulations. Ignoring the latter can later result in costly modifications and pose a direct risk to people.
At Forus, you are supported by reliable and qualified fire safety experts who assess whether a building, a part of it, or the entire construction project meets fire safety standards and design requirements.
Involving a fire safety expert before the beginning of construction or renovation helps save time, reduce costs, and ensures the building is safe for its users. We offer the service to both business and private customers. Involving a fire safety expert at the start of construction always pays off.
We offer a variety of services for new constructions, buildings requiring renovation or reconstruction, as well as buildings undergoing a change of use.
We assess whether the building, project, solution, or system (for example, a heating system) complies with fire safety requirements and whether the planned or existing solutions provide adequate safety. If necessary, we point out deficiencies and provide guidance on how to correct them.
We carefully plan and define the fire safety of your building already at the beginning of the design phase.
Among other things, we explain which solutions, materials, and systems to use, how to ensure safe evacuation, and how to limit the spread of fire, so that the rest of the design process can proceed clearly and thoughtfully.
We prepare the fire safety section of the construction project in accordance with applicable legislation, standards, and the guidelines of the Rescue Board. We provide detailed fire safety requirements, calculations, and solutions so that the project is compliant, the building is safe, and it integrates with architectural and technical systems.
The fire safety section is important for design, approvals, as well as later construction and obtaining an occupancy permit.
Our fire safety expert can supervise construction or renovation work on-site. The expert inspects the site and regularly checks whether the construction work is being carried out in accordance with the required fire safety standards.
We recommend involving a fire safety expert from the beginning of construction until obtaining the occupancy permit.
The price of different services mainly depends on the size and complexity of the building – the larger and more technically demanding the building, the more extensive the work. The price also depends on whether an assessment is needed for a single part or the entire solution.
The cost is also influenced by the project stage – whether the work starts from the concept phase or from reviewing a completed project.
