Whether you’re developing a high-rise in Canary Wharf, refurbishing a school in Hackney, or delivering a new residential block in Croydon, fire safety isn’t just a compliance checkbox—it’s an essential part of successful design, planning, and construction.
FDS Consult UK provides experienced fire engineer consultancy across Greater London, helping clients meet Building Regulations, satisfy the London Plan, and ensure safe, future-ready buildings.
