Service Overview

Peer review provides an independent technical perspective on a fire strategy, fire engineering proposal or compliance position prepared by others. It helps clients and project teams understand whether the proposal is coherent, proportionate and properly justified, and where further clarification or revision may be needed.

When You May Need This Service

You may need this service when a client wants a second opinion, when a complex scheme requires additional technical assurance, or when a project team wants an independent review before submission. It is also useful where a proposal relies on unusual assumptions, bespoke engineering judgement or a non-standard compliance route.

Regulatory Context

Independent peer review is not usually a standalone statutory requirement in the UK, but it can be particularly valuable for complex, higher-risk, or assurance-led projects. Its relevance often increases where schemes involve more demanding approval routes, non-standard design approaches or heightened stakeholder scrutiny. The review should always be considered in the context of the applicable jurisdiction, regulatory framework and project governance requirements.
