Construction programmes are moving faster than ever. Compressed timelines, overlapping trades, phased handovers, and late design changes are now standard across commercial and industrial projects. For construction managers, the challenge is no longer just delivering on time, but doing so while maintaining full compliance with […]

Fire barriers are one of the most important elements of passive fire protection, but also one of the easiest to get wrong. Across commercial, industrial, and multi-storey buildings, we see the same errors repeated on sites of every size. And while they often begin as […]

When fire happens, it’s not the flames that cause the most destruction – it’s the hidden gaps that let them spread. Unsealed service penetrations, poor compartmentation, and overlooked joints allow fire and smoke to move through a building in minutes. According to the UK’s Fire […]

Passive fire protection (PFP) is a cornerstone of that responsibility. When it’s overlooked, incorrectly installed, or poorly maintained, the consequences go far beyond delays […]

But without early fire protection planning, the whole project is exposed. Passive fire protection is what keeps compartmentation intact, protects escape routes, and buys time […]

The wrong approach to fire protection can put people at risk, undermine compliance, and add avoidable costs to your project. For property managers, contractors, and facilities teams, knowing which passive fire protection method works best for your unique needs is essential. In this blog, we’ll […]
