We carry out regular structural assessments of our buildings to assess their strength and stability. They involve experts inspecting the building’s framework, materials, and support systems to ensure everything is in good condition, helping to ensure the safety and longevity of the structure.
The construction of the building is concrete, brick external facade fire rated internal partitions and a series of flat roofs with some that can be utilized as roof terraces. On the ground floor is a concierge with office, plant and refuse storage, as well as commercial unites that are to be leased. Foundations – driven plies foundations. Ground floor – the suspended 250mm thick ground floor concrete slap spans between the ground beams is to comprise finishes.
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a report on the fire hazards within the communal areas of a building, as well the external walls and materials used. It’s carried out by an independent fire safety expert annually and explains the key safety measures in place and identifies any potential fire safety risks.
It also gives recommendations for us to follow if more safety measures are needed to prevent, control, and reduce the effects of a fire. Our FRAs are made available to the Fire and Rescue Service whenever necessary.
