RETROSPECTIVE FIRE STRATEGY

Providing clarity on a building’s fire safety measures

With the implementation of the Building Safety Act 2022, fire safety is vitally important in any building construction. However, it is important to understand fire safety measures for existing buildings too. 

A retrospective fire strategy is prepared by fire safety engineers to document how an existing building is likely to have met fire safety requirements in Building Regulations when it was constructed. Bureau Veritas fire engineers have the skills, knowledge and experience to help improve your understanding.
