We conduct existing facility audits to evaluate the effectiveness of a building’s current fire and life safety measures. These expert reviews cover every critical element of protection, including fire detection and alarm systems, suppression systems, evacuation procedures, and fire protection structures.
Facility audits are particularly valuable for older buildings constructed under outdated codes. While retroactive compliance with new codes is not always required, these audits reveal potential risks by identifying gaps between existing systems and today’s standards. They also provide essential insights for newer facilities, which may have unknowingly compromised fire safety through tenancy fit-outs, renovations, or operational changes.
By delivering clear, actionable findings, Aman helps building owners and operators proactively address vulnerabilities, safeguard occupants, and strengthen compliance with evolving fire safety expectations.
We provide gap analysis reports as the direct outcome of our existing facility audits. These reports transform audit findings into a clear and strategic roadmap for mitigating identified fire and life safety risks.
A gap analysis report provides clarity to all stakeholders by highlighting where current conditions fall short of modern standards and how those gaps can be effectively addressed. For example, it may uncover issues such as fire doors being wedged open, which undermines compartmentation, or fire detection systems that have not been adequately maintained. Our consultants then provide actionable recommendations to close these gaps, ensuring that the facility achieves an acceptable level of compliance and safety.
By translating technical findings into practical solutions, Aman empowers building owners, operators, and managers to make informed decisions that protect both occupants and assets.
We offer Performance-Based Design (PBD) services that provide a customized, science-driven approach to achieving fire safety objectives. Unlike prescriptive codes that apply a uniform set of requirements, PBD allows for the development of tailored solutions that address the unique conditions and challenges of each project while remaining both effective and cost-efficient.
The process begins with the preparation of a Performance-Based Design Brief (PBDB), which defines the assessment criteria, fire and evacuation scenarios, and modelling parameters. This brief is reviewed by key stakeholders, including authorities, fire services, and peer reviewers. Once the methodology is approved, our fire engineers produce a Fire Engineering Report (FER) that documents the solution in detail and provides a robust framework for compliance.
PBD is particularly valuable for complex or innovative projects where prescriptive code compliance may be impractical or unfeasible. By applying advanced engineering tools and methodologies, Aman helps clients unlock design flexibility while ensuring the highest levels of safety and regulatory approval.
