Existing & new-build residential
Passive fire protection for residential buildings.
FireX supports existing residential buildings and new-build developments with passive fire work that can be traced from survey or design information through to completion. The approach is suited to apartment buildings, mixed-use developments, high-rise residential and buildings within the higher-risk regime.
Operational priorities
Planning beyond the technical detail.
Suitable passive fire work depends on the tested solution and on how the building can be accessed, controlled and handed back.
- Flat entrance, communal and riser doors
- Compartmentation around building services
- Golden-thread-ready records
- Handover information for building and asset teams

Delivery approach
Controlled from planning to close-out.
Confirm the evidence
Review the required fire performance, tested systems, supporting construction and available building information.
Coordinate the interfaces
Plan door, penetration, barrier and damper work around construction sequencing or occupied-building access.
