Start with the building
Understand its use, existing systems and the protection requirement.
Recognise the developing risk
Fire detection & alarms
Connect the building’s fire strategy to a detection and alarm system people can operate and maintain.
A system needs a life beyond commissioning.
Building use, occupancy, layout and the fire strategy shape the detection requirement. Survey, design, installation and commissioning need a defined technical owner and a coordinated route through the project.
Coordinate the interfaces
Identify the connections to other building systems and responsible specialists.
Prepare for operation
Bring commissioning, records and user information into the handover.
The specialist detail
A warning system built around the building.
The design basis
Start with building use, occupancy, the fire strategy and existing records. Detector type, location, alarm coverage and system architecture follow the responsible design process.
Interfaces and cause-and-effect
Identify the intended behaviour of sounders, visual alarms and interfaces to other systems. Record the design responsibility and test the agreed sequence during commissioning.
Operation after handover
The building team needs understandable zone information, operating instructions and records. Changes to the layout or use should trigger a review of the protection requirement.
Define these in the proposal
- Building and existing-system survey
- Defined design and interface responsibilities
- Installation and commissioning records
- User handover and maintenance proposal
From the building to the userSurvey. Design.
Survey. Design.
Commission. Maintain.

Talk to the teamCan you help with an existing fire alarm system?
Yes. Tell us the system type, the building use and the issue. A review establishes the practical maintenance or project requirement.
Do you coordinate with other building specialists?
Where the system interfaces with the wider building, responsibilities and testing need to be coordinated with the relevant competent specialists.
