Fire and security in new developments works best when it's designed in from the start — not bolted on at the end. We work with developers and housebuilders at every stage: design, installation, handover and ongoing management.
The Challenges
Every sector has its own fire and security challenges. Here's what we hear most from people in your position — and why a generic contractor won't cut it.
Fire strategy and security systems need to be considered at planning stage, not as an afterthought. Getting it wrong early creates expensive problems later.
Approved Document B, BS 9991 for residential, Secured by Design — the regulatory framework is complex and changes frequently.
Ensuring all systems are commissioned, documented and handed over correctly to the building owner or management company is critical.
Large residential schemes develop in phases. Fire and security needs to be coordinated across phases as they complete and become occupied.
How Erif Helps
We've developed our service around the specific demands of your sector. Here's what that looks like in practice.
We provide technical fire and security design input at planning and pre-construction stage — helping you get it right before it costs money to change.
From first fix through to final commissioning and handover documentation, we manage the complete installation process.
Full O&M manuals, as-built drawings and commissioning certificates — everything the building owner needs from day one.
We offer preferential maintenance contracts for schemes we've installed — meaning continuity, accountability and one point of contact forever.
