Design & Construction Phase

System Building Services provides a complete pre-tender and design stage consultancy and advisory service for our clients. Through working with clients at the initial stages we are able to focus on correctly designing the work and ensuring optimum product selection to deliver major cost savings and project efficiencies. Clients always benefit from early stage expertise and we have numerous examples of significant savings in costs and time on a range of key and flagship projects.

System Building Services consistently bring the latest innovations to projects and support client teams throughout the project lifecycle. We also advise on and rectify substandard work undertaken by other contractors and always ensure the highest standards in building safety. Rectification work is the least cost efficient method and we would always advise clients to engage passive fire protection experts as early as possible to integrate project efficiencies and cost savings.

Post Construction

Once the building is operational, System Building Services can apply its expertise to maintain the fire integrity of the building by analysing the systems in use and providing comprehensive reports. If required, System Building Services advise on the various products and installations that will bring a building back up to standard and within the latest legislation and regulations whilst ensuring problems won’t be encountered in the future. It is an often overlooked fact that the fire integrity of the building will change over time and, in addition, regulations and legislation also change as technology advances and new problems come to light that previously weren't encountered. It is imperative to speak with experts to ensure a building complies with the latest regulations and legislation and to have previous installations checked.
