Fire Detection and Life Safety System Design.
Effective fire and life safety system design requires the consideration of many interacting factors. Fully understanding the requirements and expectations of our client, coupled with the scope of the project, is vital to successful design.

Whether the project is specification led or follows a fire risk assessment and fire strategy, it is essential to always deliver an accurate interpretation of the client brief. We must also ensure that the design meets all legal safety requirements and we will advise the project team accordingly.
Understanding the brief is only the first step of the design process. We must then go on to devise and apply the design, ensuring appropriate and accurate positioning of devices and cabling with no deviation to the approved plan. It has to be a prescriptive process in order to achieve accuracy. However, this also ensures a smooth-running installation.
A further aspect of effective and efficient design is to ensure that ease of access to all devices is a key consideration and integrated into every plan. This is so that the correct maintenance regime can be regularly be undertaken.
At Defensor, we always take time to thoroughly assess any system to verify that it meets the current standards required to be considered compliant. There may be acceptable variations to be considered but these will always be advised under the risk assessment and made clear to our client.
When devising a life safety system design, our expert team fully research all available systems to achieve the most appropriate and best possible engineered solution, employing the “best of breed” approach to products. We will also seek to deliver the most competitive pricing.
Finally, before any proposed plan is presented, we always apply the “four eyes” principle. The design is fully checked over by another member of our highly qualified design team prior to client submission.
