Safety systems added after the design is complete can compromise the layout and delay approval. Integrating them from the initial planning stage can reduce rework, support a smoother approval process, and make the building ready for operation \u2014 not merely ready to be built.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Do you handle submissions through authority platforms?<\/summary>Yes. We prepare the drawings and calculations, submit them and follow up on comments through to approval.\n\n<\/details>
Our existing building has comments from Civil Defence \u2014 can you address them?<\/summary>Yes. We start with a site inspection and assessment of the existing condition, then determine what can be addressed through design and what requires modifications on site.\n\n<\/details>
Does the service include installation of the systems?<\/summary>No. Riwaq is a consultancy practice: we design, review and supervise construction. We do not carry out installation or supply systems.\n\n<\/details>
Does the design vary depending on the activity?<\/summary>Fundamentally. The building classification and type of stored materials affect the firefighting system, means of egress distances and ventilation requirements.\n\n<\/details>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
