Fire Strategy for Flats and Apartments

The visual record of every key fire safety decision in your building design

Fire strategy plans are annotated floor plans that translate the written fire strategy report into a visual format. They show, storey by storey, how the building design achieves the required fire safety standards: where occupants escape, where fire is contained, where sprinklers or smoke control systems operate, and how firefighters access and tackle a fire.

They are a required submission document for planning applications under Gateway 1 of the Building Safety Act 2022 and London Plan Policy D12a, and form part of the building control package under Approved Document B, BS 9999, and BS 9991. During construction they serve as a coordination reference for architects, structural engineers, mechanical and electrical consultants, and contractors.
