Fire Engineering Approach

Fire Engineering Approach

A fire engineered approach enables flexible solutions when prescriptive guidance restricts development. We apply performance-based design using smoke modelling, fire dynamics, evacuation calculations and structural resistance analysis to justify alternative strategies. This approach supports complex geometry, open-plan layouts, atriums, heritage buildings and high-rise developments seeking design freedom without compromising safety. We prepare evidence-based reports, modelling outputs, sensitivity testing and regulatory justification for approval.

Our engineered solutions optimise space, reduce unnecessary over-specification and maintain life-safety performance. We work alongside architects, structural engineers and MEP teams to ensure design creativity can progress confidently within a compliant framework.

Total Fire Solutions London Limited provides technically defensible engineering routes that balance aesthetics, cost and safety effectively.
