This guide represents a HUGE collaborative effort within and beyond our community and starts to look at the challenges in bringing products together as systems within buildings. It is a must read for anyone involved in the specification and design development of wall systems and the products that come together to form these vital compartments (including doors, raised access floors, glazed partitions, access panels etc).

The result of two years work by a dedicated group of industry experts, it outlines the importance of compatible compliant evidence when designing ‘Fire Walls’ It’s important for anyone specifying suppling and constructing Drylining.

Fire Safety: A Core Principle of Resilient Design Fire safety is not just a technical requirement—it’s an essential design principle that protects lives and builds resilience against unforeseen disasters. In a world where cities are growing rapidly, it’s crucial to integrate fire safety measures into the very fabric of our buildings and infrastructure. From smart alarms and fire-resistant materials to strategic escape routes, every detail matters. Together, we can design spaces that are not only safer but also disaster-ready and sustainable. Let’s create buildings that protect, empower, and inspire—even in the face of adversity. Join the conversation on how we can build safer, smarter, and more disaster-resistant spaces! 🚒🏢 #FireSafety #DisasterManagement #BuildingSafety #ResilientDesign #Architecture #SustainableArchitecture #SmartBuildings #UrbanSafety #FutureOfArchitecture

BS 9991:2015 is the British Standard Code of Practice for Fire Safety in the Design, Management, and Use of Residential Buildings. It provides guidelines for architects, property designers, and fire safety professionals to ensure adequate fire safety measures are integrated into building designs, including the installation of fire suppression systems. BS 9991:2015 provides a level of flexibility that allows the fire protection measures, and the associated risks, to be assessed to enable reasonable practical solutions to be designed. The guide below has been created to provide a clearer understanding of BS 9991:2015 and the design freedoms that can be achieved within its scope. Included are some examples of projects made possible with the use of fire suppression systems. Download Guide: https://lnkd.in/eBYFXjAz #Architecture #PropertyDesign #FireSafety

🚨 Building Regulations Part B: 2025 Updates for Residential Projects 🚨 The updated Building Regulations Part B document has arrived, bringing significant changes to fire safety standards for residential properties. These updates aim to enhance safety and align with modern practices, ensuring a safer built environment for all. This also features color coded amendments set to take effect in 2025, 2026, and 2029. Here are a few key changes to note: ✅ Mandatory evacuation alert systems in specific residential buildings. ✅ Stricter guidance on self-closing devices for fire doors in residential properties. ✅ Clearer specifications for fire-resistant materials in residential construction. These updates reflect the industry’s commitment to improving occupant safety and compliance. #BuildingRegulations #PartB #FireSafety #ResidentialDesign #Architecture #Construction

New CPD dates for 2025! ITP are supporting a series of expert CPD events scheduled for 2025, providing essential guidance for developers, contractors and architects in the design and construction of durable, future-proof facade systems that meet the necessary performance and fire safety standards. Featuring presentations by Allan Hurdle, Technical Consultant at Stamisol UK, the CPD series covers a range of key subjects: ✅ The critical functions of façade membranes within external wall systems. ✅ UK Building Regulations and best practice in the design and construction of facades. ✅ Compliance requirements for high-rise and higher-risk buildings. ✅ Vital information on testing and certification required to demonstrate authentic compliance. ✅ The use of Euroclass A-rated breather membranes to maximise fire safety. ✅ Why an A1-rated membrane is the optimum solution for some façade types and an A2-rated membrane is the optimum solution for other façade types. ✅ The importance of maximum water protection for certain buildings. ✅ The use of breather membranes to enhance energy efficiency in the building envelope. These CPDs will be presented in webinar format as well as taking place at selected live events.

There’s a common misconception that the Building Safety Act only affects those who construct, design or own higher risk buildings, or those who are involved in cladding works. That's not true. Learn how the Building Safety Act applies to your small building business and what steps should you take. https://lnkd.in/e4_dr2Bt

Following our second Façade Focus session on the Future of Façade Remediation in October, this new article focusses more closely on the impact the Building Safety Act 2022 is having on the recladding of apartment buildings. We tackle the issues surrounding the number of buildings that require remediation, how these projects pose unique challenges and factors to consider such as cost, compliance and competency.
