HELPING YOU IDENTIFY SAFETY RISKS EARLY

Site safety supervision and auditing help you identify the safety risks of a construction site. It also detects any incorrect installations from a fire safety standpoint early in the process, before any harm is done. Overlooked errors can cause schedule challenges and additional costs in commissioning the building and also potentially put lives at risk.

SAFETY SUPERVISION + AUDITING

Sometimes, construction site safety inspections and audits only require a one-off visit. However, to ensure continuous safety on-site, we typically recommend collecting and reviewing data monthly, especially on large building sites where complex and varied work can heighten risk. Our services include solutions for different types of building sites:



  • Audit of installations and site compliance
  • Site safety assessment
  • Audit of fire inspection conditions

INSTALLATION AUDITS + BUILDING SITE PLAN COMPLIANCE

In our monthly audits, we have found errors on our clients’ construction sites that would have been very costly to fix at a later stage. In the building site plan compliance audit, we focus on the areas identified by our clients. Most typical issues are caused by planning flaws, combining different plans, or faulty installation work.

PLAN + INSTALLATION ASSESSMENT

Our experts assess plans and installations to avoid:


  • Inappropriate fire load in the exit routes (for example, wires in the roof of an exit)
  • Incorrect joists for the fire stops
  • Incorrect positioning of exit signs

In recent years, the need for site plan compliance audits has grown, especially with large, complex construction projects. Susceptibility to errors tends to grow as the number of designers and contractors increases. Errors in fire safety planning should never be hidden but highlighted and corrected before they pose a danger.

BUILDING SITE FIRE SAFETY ASSESSMENT

The fire risk on a construction site is several times higher than in regular building use. At worst, even a small fire can delay the completion of a building by months. Typically, we carry out construction or renovation site fire safety assessments when part of the building is in use. We ensure that the site doesn't pose an unreasonable threat to the building or the people and activities it’s accommodating. Site fire safety assessments are also often needed for the construction of buildings that are commissioned in stages. The staggered commissioning must be taken into careful consideration already at the planning phase. Especially on large-scale and long-term building sites, fire safety assessments benefit from regular inspections so that the risks associated with an evolving site are identified early.

FIRE INSPECTION REQUIREMENT AUDIT + COMMISSIONING

We conduct auditing tours before the official fire inspection to ensure that the authorities' checks of the property don’t uncover any surprises. By being prepared, you avoid alteration demands from the fire and rescue services, which could lead to expensive repairs at the point of commissioning a building. Contact us before the official fire inspection, and we will arrange a suitable time for an audit.
