What We Do

At MHFS, we play a crucial role as an Assigned Certifier by overseeing and verifying that every aspect of a construction project meets fire safety and Building Control standards under BCAR 2014. We liaise with design, construction, and client teams to ensure that fire safety compliance is built into the project from the beginning. Our role is to monitor fire safety measures, perform ongoing inspections, and ensure that all aspects meet BCAR requirements. By offering proactive solutions to fire safety compliance challenges, MHFS adds value to projects, reducing the risk of costly delays and ensuring a streamlined certification process.

How We Do It

Our certification process is tailored to meet the specific requirements of each project while complying with BCAR 2014. Here’s how we ensure fire safety compliance and add value to your project:

Knowledge and Understanding

We begin each project by understanding its specific design, fire safety requirements, and the unique fire risks involved. With an in-depth knowledge of fire safety codes, legislation, and best practices, our team develops a certification pathway that aligns with BCAR regulations. Our extensive understanding of fire safety compliance requirements ensures that fire safety measures are both effective and aligned with the project’s overall goals.

Identify and implement

During the design phase, we work closely with architects, engineers, and contractors to identify potential fire safety risks and develop compliant solutions. We assess fire safety measures such as evacuation routes, fire-resistant materials, and smoke control systems, ensuring they meet BCAR requirements. By proactively identifying these elements early in the process, we help avoid costly redesigns or delays later on, adding value to the project and streamlining the compliance journey.

Checks and application

Throughout construction, MHFS conducts regular site inspections and detailed checks to ensure that all fire safety measures are installed to BCAR standards. Each safety element is reviewed for functionality and regulatory compliance, with our team documenting each step to provide clear and transparent records. Our rigorous approach to checks and application adds value by reducing the risk of non-compliance issues, providing you with clear documentation and peace of mind that fire safety is prioritised at every stage.

Upon Completion

Upon project completion, MHFS provides final verification and certification to confirm that all fire safety elements comply with BCAR 2014. Our team performs a comprehensive review of the completed project, ensuring that all fire safety systems are operational, compliant, and fully documented. The issuance of the Certificate of Compliance provides a formal record of fire safety compliance, giving you confidence that your building meets regulatory and safety standards. Our clear documentation and certification support a smooth handover process, reducing administrative burdens and allowing you to focus on project completion.
