Construction

• Structural fire protection is intended to ensure that the building will not collapse prematurely in a fire and that the means of escape for the occupants can be utilized without undue risk. It will not, however, necessarily avoid the material loss of the property. The structural protection is also intended to reduce the potential of fire spread from one building to another. List any concerns you have with elements of structure within the premises
