Identify where fire safety defects are typically introduced early in the design process, particularly at the interfaces between products, project context, and stakeholder engagement.
Use performance‐based design as a practical tool for defect prevention, rather than as a late‐stage alternative to Deemed‐to‐Satisfy solutions.
Understand the value of early engagement between fire safety engineers, suppliers, and trades, consistent with the NCC A2G2 intent, to better integrate products into project‐specific fire safety strategies.
Appreciate how clearer evidence and coordination improve buildability, inspection, and long‐term compliance, reducing late‐stage remediation.
