Retrospective Fire Strategy
✓ Providing clarity on an existing building’s fire safety measures
With the implementation of the Building Safety Act 2022, fire safety is vitally important in any building construction. However, it is important to understand fire safety measures for existing buildings too.
A retrospective fire strategy is prepared by fire safety engineers to document how an existing building is likely to have met fire safety requirements in Building Regulations when it was constructed. Bureau Veritas fire engineers have the skills, knowledge and experience to help improve your understanding.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A RETROSPECTIVE FIRE STRATEGY?
A retrospective fire strategy will assess the fire safety measures in a building by outlining the minimum requirements to achieve compliance with the relevant legislation, and then comparing it to the actual measures present on site.
With this document, the key information can be brought into the building safety case and included in the golden thread of information, in line with the Building Safety Act 2022. It also provides landlords, fire risk assessors and any other interested parties with a tool to better understand what is needed in terms of fire safety.
