Timber Frame Radiant Heat Risk Assessments
Timber frame construction can present increased fire risk during the construction phase where structures may be exposed to radiant heat from nearby buildings or activities. Parkhouse Consulting undertakes radiant heat risk assessments to evaluate potential fire spread and determine appropriate separation distances or mitigation measures.
Our assessments support safe construction practices and help project teams manage fire risk during timber frame development.
Management

R38 Handover
We support the preparation and review of fire safety documentation required at project completion, including R38 handover information. Clear and structured documentation ensures building owners and managers receive the information necessary to safely manage the building.
Preparation and review of compliant fire safety documentation at project completion, protecting duty holders and ensuring clarity post-handover.
Site Inspections
We carry out site inspections during construction to review fire safety measures such as compartmentation, fire stopping, and installation of life safety systems. This helps ensure fire safety provisions are installed correctly and aligned with approved designs and strategies.
Construction phase inspections verifying compartmentation, fire stopping, and system installation. Early identification prevents costly remedial work.
