Holistic fire protection planning made easy – 5 phases for doing it better
With so many stakeholders involved in the fire compliance process of a new building, or during rectification of older buildings, best practice in construction can be hard to achieve… That’s where holistic planning comes in.
How you can save money on passive fire compliance?
Within the passive fire industry, one of the greatest expenses faced by contractors is defect rectification, now more than ever with regulators cracking down and Building Certifiers/ Surveyors under scrutiny.
Passive Fire Data – What the inspectors are demanding and what that means for Facility Managers
If you have an annual fire inspection coming up, rectification works or a new fit out planned, you likely would have had to deal with a certifier, or inspector demanding up-to-date passive fire data (this may be fire door schedules or penetration registers).
Documentation to make your building ‘trustworthy’ and your business competitive
In a recent survey of predominantly C Suite executives in the property industry, 82% said that compliance and high quality were imperative to ensure projects remained competitive. Passive fire compliance and thorough documentation play a key role in this competitive edge.
Building Audits & Inspections – Making Data Capture simple!
Are your inspection reports taking more time to complete than the time you are spending on site? Can you get photos of issues, with notes, compliance status, and rectification methods? Or before and after shots of defects rectified, or just before shots for your evidence? Certifired has the answer.
Passive fire penetration registers, getting it right the first time everytime!
After the 2017 QBCC crackdown, there has been a notable increase in scrutiny not only when it comes to passive fire works, but the documentation and certification surrounding them, including penetration registers.
Easiest way to close out defects
As passive fire works are put under further scrutiny in response to tightening legislation and more legal cases, it is apparent that now more than ever, we need documentation to back up works. Our clients who are passive fire professionals have ample first-hand experience of all the ways that closing out a job where defects needed to be rectified can be a challenge, particularly keeping track of all progress and documentation, the loss of photos ect.
Innovation and Construction, are we keeping up?
When the construction industry comes to mind you might think strong or steadfast, but the word innovation rarely springs to mind. Whilst there are countless industries that are coming forward in leaps and bounds, for the most part, the construction industry apparently doesn’t match the trend, even more so in the passive fire industry.
