How Quelfire Supports Architects & Design Teams

We Understand Your Challenges

For architects and design teams, delivering compliant, practical designs means considering firestopping from the very start. Early decisions affect compliance, buildability, and the ease of installation on site - so every detail must be right first time.

  • Design Compliance

    Regulations are tightening, and designs are under more scrutiny than ever. Firestopping must be considered from the outset to ensure compliance and avoid late-stage changes.

  • Practicality & Buildability

    A design that looks good on paper must also work on site. If firestopping is overlooked early, it can lead to clashes, impractical details, and costly rework during construction.

  • Coordination Across Disciplines

    Firestopping touches multiple services and trades. Without early consideration, coordination can be complex, leading to uncertainty, inefficiency, and risk on site.

Designing for Compliance & Buildability

Early engagement in firestopping ensures your designs are not only compliant but also practical to deliver on site. By considering firestopping at the design stage, you reduce the risk of clashes, rework, and late design changes, while ensuring details stand up to scrutiny.

Our comprehensive detail drawings, NBS specifications, and BIM models make it easier to design firestopping in from the start. These resources support coordination across all disciplines, helping you create designs that are both compliant and buildable - saving time, reducing uncertainty, and giving confidence from approval through to installation.
