Fire Safety Systems and Building Services Project Management
Independent consultancy and expert project oversight for fire safety system upgrades, installations and commissioning
Many buildings require upgrades or new installations to their fire safety systems following a fire risk assessment or inspection.
These systems are often essential for compliance with the Fire Safety Order 2005, British Standards, manufacturer requirements and your building’s fire strategy.
IPC provides building services project management to help clients specify, procure and oversee essential fire safety systems without the complexity of managing contractors themselves.
We do not install systems directly. Instead, we act as your independent, competent consultant, ensuring you receive the right equipment, the right installation and the right documentation to achieve full compliance.
Systems we can specify and manage:
- BS 5839-compliant fire alarm and detection systems
- Fire alarm systems and control panels
- Automatic fire detection systems
- Emergency lighting systems
- Smoke control and ventilation systems
- Refuge communication systems
- Sprinkler or suppression systems
- Dry risers and wet risers
- Fire-fighting equipment installations
- Access control adjustments linked to fire safety
- Other fire safety provisions identified in your FRA
Our project management process:
- We analyse your building and FRA findings
- We specify the type and standard of system required
- We obtain quotations from qualified contractors
- We oversee the installation process on your behalf
- We ensure correct commissioning, certification and documentation
- We provide final sign-off and integration into your building’s fire strategy
- We ensure maintenance schedules and system requirements are understood
Why independent project management is essential:
Fire safety systems must be designed, installed and commissioned correctly to perform as intended.
Using an independent consultancy ensures that systems are not overspecified, incorrectly installed or poorly integrated into the building’s fire strategy.
Why IPC’s approach is different:
- Independent and impartial
- We specify only what you need
- We coordinate everything on your behalf
- We ensure installations meet all current standards
- We simplify a complex, technical process
- We provide full documentation for your compliance records
