When this work is needed
Existing fire stopping needs to be assessed, or the property team lacks reliable records of installed systems. The survey brief should explain the areas, purpose and evidence already available.
Typical projects
- Targeted review of risers or service penetrations
- Investigation of recorded installation concerns
- Creating a better basis for a remedial tender
What needs to be established
Agree how installations will be located and recorded, what can be inspected and the limits of any visual or intrusive checks. Ask how the report will distinguish findings, inaccessible areas and items requiring further evidence.
A useful starting brief
Areas to inspect, existing records, known defects and site restrictions.
Add the town, UK nation, building use, procurement stage and intended timescale. Unknown quantities and budgets can be clarified later.
