Following the introduction of the Regulatory Reform Order (RRO) every building which constitutes a place of work (which includes residential common areas but not the apartments themselves) should have a fire risk assessment carried out to ensure adequate levels of fire safety are maintained.

Beyond RRO risk assessments some building designs also require risk assessments carrying out pre-completion as part of the building design process, primarily due to the design not being easily understood until the internal details have been installed.

BWC have a proven track record of providing RRO fire risk assessments and also undertaking issue specific risk assessments on new and existing buildings. In many cases practical advice given and possible restructuring of management strategies have successfully reduced or removed the need for remedial actions, saving money and the need for construction works and associated operational disruptions.
