Working alongside fire engineers, consultants and building owners, we support the delivery of accurate, compliant and professionally managed façade investigation projects.

  • What does an intrusive investigation involve?

    Every structure is either a NASC TG20 compliant or engineer designed access installed and inspected by trained professionals. As RISQS, SMAS Worksafe, and SafeContractor approved, all systems meet strict industry safety standards.

  • Will intrusive investigations damage my building?

    Yes, our designers create bespoke scaffold and access plans for challenging environments, ensuring stability, efficiency, and full compliance with site specifications.

  • How long does an intrusive investigation take?

    Access systems are installed and maintained around live operations, with detailed risk assessments and sequencing to minimise disruption and maintain productivity on site.

  • Who carries out the intrusive investigations?

    Scheduling is coordinated directly with site management to align with construction phases. Our teams can be mobilised quickly to ensure access is ready when required, avoiding costly delays.

  • What happens after the investigation?

    The findings are documented and provided to the appointed fire engineer or assessor to support the completion of the FRAEW. The results help building owners understand the condition of their external wall system and identify whether any remedial works or further action is required.


  • How do you ensure safety during intrusive investigations?

    Safety is at the heart of every project. We undertake comprehensive site-specific risk assessments and method statements, using qualified personnel and appropriate access equipment to protect building occupants, the public, and our workforce throughout the investigation process.
