Join the conversation on why early engagement during design development should include Fire Protection Professionals. What is the role of the lead consultant, design manager and the developer in having a focus on Fire Protection from the start of design. Question why when these elements are critical for the protection of the end user, you rarely see a fire professional at the design meeting table. Let’s look at how often the specification refers to the fire protection role as “by others” on the drawings and in the specification. Be one of the designer, builders, developers, and fire protection specialists who consider the unseen building systems that provide passive and active fire protection systems as a topic worth discussing early in design. This will be an interactive session, where we will capture your thoughts whether inline with the speaker or not. Join the discussion on why whole of building fire protection systems are not considered from the outset of design and instead left as a review when the design is significantly developed. Why, is it because Fire Protection is not seen as adding value to the sale price, is it because you can’t see it or is it because it’s assumed its covered in the specification “by others”.
Be in the room, at the table to start the discussion, because this is a serious subject that continues to be swept under the table.
