FRAEW

Our RICS Chartered professional surveyors have completed the requisite Level 6 External Wall Systems Assessment Training Programme - External Wall Systems and are listed as 'course completers' on the RICS Fire Safety website.

 

We can assist you with the investigation and risk assessment and appraisal of external wall systems as defined in the recently published PAS9980:2022 standard, reporting on our findings leading to the publication of a completed and signed Report and EWS1 form. We will also provide advice on how to make their buildings safe if the required safety standards are not achieved. Our Chartered surveyors are qualified to complete Option A and Option B forms for buildings under 18m high and Option A for buildings over eighteen high. For buildings over 18m high which record an Option B outcome we will refer these to our Fire Engineer partners for completion.

Building Safety Cases

We have developed our own internal proformas for collecting the required BSC information that can be used at the outset to identify the shortfalls in information and highlight and recommend where further investigations are required to meet the statutory requirements of the Building Safety Act 2022.

Fire Safety Advice

Keegans experienced Fire Engineers are providing our clients with fire safety advice on new developments providing fire strategies and inputting into design solutions to ensure that completed designs are code complaint. Our team can also provide advice and guidance in relation to fire safety on existing buildings including completing technical assessments, risk assessments and provide solutions in relation to maintenance and repairs to both passive and active fire safety systems.

Fire Strategies

We can provide retrospective fire strategy documents to existing buildings where these were not provided at the point of development or following extensive refurbishment and maintenance. We have developed easy to follow templates than can be used to assist in the completion of building safety cases and we work with our clients to identify gaps in information and documentation. We can also provide fire strategy documents for new developments. Working in conjunction with the appointed design team we are proactively involved ensuring the design proposals are code compliant and where this cannot be achieved, we provide fire engineering advice and solutions.
