Fire-safety consultancy questions in Edinburgh
Do you provide fire engineering and fire safety consultancy in Edinburgh?

How much does a fire safety consultant cost in Edinburgh?
Scope and fee for a fire safety consultant in Edinburgh depend on the building type, size, complexity, project phase, information supplied and deliverables required. Magnus Opifex Seven reviews the information, defines the scope and issues a written quotation.
How is the regulatory route confirmed for a Edinburgh project?
Edinburgh is in Scotland. Existing non-domestic premises fall under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 Part 3 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, enforced by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. Building work follows the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 and the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants issued by the local authority as verifier; the Building Safety Regulator's higher-risk building regime does not apply in Scotland; for other work the building-control body is City of Edinburgh Council or another lawful route. The route is confirmed from the specific building, use, height, storeys, phase and records supplied; approval and statutory decisions remain with the relevant authority and dutyholders.
