Fire Safety Design Requirements for Buildings

Fire Safety Design Requirements for Buildings

Fire safety design protects the people inside a building and limits damage to property. It is a legal and moral priority in every project.

Core elements of fire safety design

  • Fire detection and alarm systems
  • Sprinklers, hydrants and hose reels
  • Adequate means of escape and protected staircases
  • Fire pumps and water reservoirs

Approvals

Designs must meet Fire Service and Civil Defence requirements and the BNBC before approval.

Design it in from the start

Integrating fire safety early keeps costs down and approvals smooth, rather than adding systems later.
