Fire safety certificate: These are the documents you need

No building permit will be issued without proof of fire protection. Despite this, the issue is often addressed too late, with avoidable consequences for schedules and costs.

These documents are required

Building class and use, escape route concept, information on building components and materials, and where applicable, certificates for special structures: the scope depends on the project.

Typical pitfalls

Unclear escape routes, underestimated requirements for existing building components and a lack of coordination with the checking engineer regularly cost weeks in the approval process.

Our tip

Fire protection belongs in the design phase, not at the end. A concept coordinated at an early stage noticeably accelerates the approval process.
