An optimum approach to compliance with the building code is crucial to provide an adequate level of fire life safety (FLS) in the design of any building, structure or facility. Vortex Fire offers building code consulting in UAE conducting plan reviews to confirm compliance with national, provincial and international building codes and standards. A poorly developed fire safety strategy can lead to non-compliance, abortive works, and over-design issues that can be costly and detrimental to any project.
As a trusted fire code consultant UAE, Vortex Fire ensures that your project meets applicable fire and life safety requirements.
What is a Fire Safety Strategy?
A fire safety strategy is a comprehensive combination of fire safety measures encompassing fire prevention, management of fire safety and fire protection that meets the agreed fire safety objectives for your project. It can be developed using either prescriptive codes or performance based design approaches.
For clients, we provide code compliant strategies tailored to each province’s unique regulatory framework through our expert code consultants.
