Fire protection

We offer comprehensive planning and advice to building owners and architects across all SIA phases and all quality assurance levels. Our expertise in fire protection extends to both building construction projects and infrastructure facilities.

By making targeted use of synergies with other specialist areas of our company, we develop sustainable, technically and economically optimised concepts that fulfil the wishes of the building owner and the official requirements. The close cooperation of our fire protection and safety experts also promotes performance and risk-based fire protection so as to offer our customers the best possible advice.
