Existing buildings and refurbishment

Compliance and performance

• Confirm which current requirements are triggered by alteration, extension or change of use
• Review energy, ventilation, fire, accessibility and certification gaps
• Record assumptions where existing information or test evidence is incomplete

Typical service provisions

• Condition, capacity and remaining-life assessment of existing systems
• Targeted replacement, adaptation and controls upgrades
• Temporary services, isolations and phased continuity planning
• Verified record information, asset data and commissioning evidence

Consultant and specialist interfaces

• Architect, structural engineer, fire consultant and hazardous-material specialists
• Facilities team, maintenance contractor, utility providers and building users
• Principal contractor and temporary-works or phasing designers

Fire strategy and life safety

• Validate existing life-safety systems and interfaces against the current fire strategy
• Investigate compartment penetrations, records and legacy system modifications
• Coordinate temporary arrangements and maintain protection throughout phased works

The appointed fire consultant owns the fire strategy. MEP design coordinates the defined building-services interfaces.
