Description
This guide, essentially an enhanced version of Approved Document B (Volume 2), offers extra insurer-friendly technical guidance for construction professionals about how to protect commercial buildings from fire beyond the building regulations critical life safety measures.
With the cost of major fires costing the British economy over £7 billion a year and high rates of consequent business failure, property protection is a key business objective for construction clients and their insurers, who will value appropriate measures that are designed in rather than added on as an afterthought.
For the first time, this guide aligns guidance for property protection with the much more familiar Approved Document B. It succinctly and transparently annotates the existing document, providing a practical and easy-to-use shortcut to meeting the requirements of the Building Regulations, your clients and their insurers - all in one book.
The annotation is further supported by the inclusion of RISCAuthoritys Insurer Requirements for the Implementation of Fire Safety Engineering Solutions, which considers the property protection dimension of engineered fire safety designs.
Co-published by the Fire Protection Association and endorsed by the Department of Communities and Local Government, this new guide is an invaluable resource for architects, architectural technologists, engineers, surveyors, builders, fire prevention specialists and other consultants in the construction design community.

"A major change in approach by the insurers and should further bridge the gap in understanding between themselves and the design community."
Peter Caplehorn, RIBA Practice Committee & Technical Director, Scott Brownrig
"The concept of succinctly and transparently annotating the existing document is a practical and easy-to-use shortcut to meeting insurers requirements at the same time as satisfying those of the Building Regulations... The FPA with RISCAuthority (formerly InFiReS) are to be commended".
