Fire safety advisory

Fire safety advisory provides independent, highly experienced guidance on all fire protection and fire safety aspects of a building, whether new or existing. The ongoing serviceability of fire systems is a critical life safety and compliance consideration for any building, and Omnii offers advice and advocacy across the full range of fire safety matters to help clients make informed decisions.

Fire protection design focuses on specifying and engineering the fire systems themselves, while fire safety advisory provides independent oversight, review, and strategic guidance across those systems. Advisory services include peer reviewing a consultant's or contractor's design, commissioning reviews, troubleshooting, and acting as an independent advocate for the client throughout a project's life.

Omnii's fire safety advisory services cover design review (compliance, constructability, and value engineering), commissioning review, technical advice on all fire-related matters, negotiation with authorities and advisory agencies, troubleshooting and defect investigation, maintenance management, asset and equipment management, baseline data compliance, fire system interface and cause-and-effect documentation, pre-purchase reviews, and due diligence reviews.

A design review independently examines a fire protection design for compliance, constructability, and value engineering. This can take the form of a peer review of a consultant's or contractor's design, providing an objective second opinion that identifies potential issues, improves cost-efficiency, and confirms the design aligns with regulatory and project requirements before construction proceeds.
