We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new way of working with Firntec. We understand that the need for on-hand expert knowledge is essential when ensuring the safety of your buildings and so we’re excited to launch our brand-new consultancy services.  

The new Firntec Technical Centre provides comprehensive technical consultancy packages to support landlords and compliance teams facing increasing demands and changing legislation. Our team of highly qualified Fire Safety Consultants with specialised expertise in the residential sector offer a range of services, including technical Fire Safety support, third-party project support, and assistance with creating Building Safety Cases.

Building Safety Case Consultancy

The Building Safety Case Consultancy is designed to support organisations without dedicated Building Safety Managers in managing their buildings and preparing for compliance with the Fire Safety Act and Building Safety Act. 

We employ a 3 stage process for completing building safety cases: 

Stage 1 – Information review & Gap Analysis  
A consultant will conduct a comprehensive review of all current information and reports to identify any missing information and potential gaps in the data. 

Stage 2 – Proposal of solutions to address Information Gaps   
After completing Stage 1, we will provide bespoke proposals to address the identified gaps in information. 

Stage 3 – Submission and approval of Building Safety Case 
In this final stage, we will compile all relevant information and draft the Building Safety Case reports for your specific buildings, ready for submission and approval.

Building Safety Manager Support Service

We recognise that complying with the Building Safety Act and managing high-rise buildings over 18m can be a significant challenge for landlords, particularly for those who may not have the resources to employ a full-time Building Safety Manager. To address this, we offer a Building Safety Manager Support Service where one of our experienced consultants can be assigned to your organisation to assist your compliance team with some of the responsibilities of the Building Safety Manager role. 
 

This service is especially useful for landlords with a few high-rise buildings that fall within scope. With our consultancy and support, you can establish a strong relationship with the assigned consultant to ensure that your organisation is compliant with the necessary regulations. 

What is included in the support service: 

• Ad-hoc telephone support, virtual meetings, and site visits by the assigned consultant to specific blocks
• Regular attendance on site and liaison with the Local FRS
• Ensuring resident awareness of the organization’s safety responsibilities
• Engaging with residents and compliance teams to provide feedback and establish channels for communication and escalation routes.
• Regularly visually checking assets and safety equipment
• Producing summary reports for Directors and Executive teams to understand the organisation’s requirements for specific blocks.

  The brand-new services are designed to help you manage your buildings to make sure that they remain compliant and safe for use. Each of these new services form part of our new Technical Centre. Keep an eye out for further information on our website imminently! For further information on any of our new services, or if you have any questions at all then please get in touch.
