Fire Engineering
The purpose of fire safety engineers is to ensure that buildings are designed so as to keep people, property and the environment safe from the dangers of fire.
Here are some points that a fire engineer needs to take into consideration:
- What a fire is, the characteristics and the mechanisms of fire
- How fires start, spread and how that may be to controlled
- The spread within and outside buildings/structures
- How fire can be detected, controlled, and extinguished
Here at Kudos Fire Protection, we use a variety of engineering techniques and can advise on the most suitable and cost-effective fire safety engineering solution for you.

The Building Safety Bill is being developed as part of the new safety regime to prevent any events similar to the Grenfell Tower disaster, which killed 72 people in 2017. It will overhaul existing regulations, and set out a clear pathway on how residential buildings should be constructed, maintained and made safe. As part of this bill, projects will require a ‘golden thread’ of information, with safety considered at every stage of the building’s life cycle.
