Fire Risk Assessments
Savills has a dedicated team undertaking fire risk assessments for housing associations, local authorities and other public sector clients.
How we can help you:
The issue of fire risk has become increasingly important during the last two years, with a number of significant fires reported, some of which may have been avoidable. Savills has a leading team of experts who are able to work with clients to develop sensible fire risk strategies. This goes beyond undertaking the fire risk assessments on site and involves the ability to fully understand the risks associated with different property portfolios and how they are best managed. Very often the management plans are more important than the physical work that may be required to properties. Savills has the expertise to provide the necessary support and consultancy.
Our Expertise:
Savills has a team of over 50 dedicated staff with specialist expertise in undertaking fire risk assessments headed up by John Herbison who is an acknowledged expert in the field. We are able to undertake the following work:
- Reviewing property portfolios on a desktop basis in order to identify the high risk properties and to prioritise the fire risk assessments.
- Undertaking full fire risk assessments on site by trained Risk Assessors.
- Production of detailed fire risk assessment reports with action plans and priorities.
- Development of overarching fire risk strategies.
- Provision of training throughout organisations, both at a strategic level and also for staff managing buildings on a day to day basis.
Savills brings a pragmatic approach to dealing with fire risk ensuring that high risks are prioritised and addressed and low risks managed in a sensible manner.
