Do you provide fire engineering and fire safety consultancy in London?
Yes. Magnus Opifex Seven provides scoped fire engineering and fire safety consultancy in London, including fire risk assessment, fire strategy, fire door inspection, modelling where separately scoped and Building Safety Act 2022 support where the building and work are in scope.

Scope and fee for a fire safety consultant in London 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 London project?
London is in England. Existing non-domestic premises fall under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as amended by the Fire Safety Act 2021, with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings, enforced by London Fire Commissioner (London Fire Brigade).

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.
