Webb Fire Protection Consulting, LLC
(WFPC)
is a firm providing consulting services for the fire safety aspects of the built
environment.
BUILDING CODE CONSULTING SERVICES
We apply performance-based solutions intended to achieve project goals,
recognizing local conditions. This approach is particularly applicable to large
mixed-use developments where code compliance may not be straightforward. Where
that occurs, we believe that alternative solutions that meet the intent of the
code are needed. We work with local authorities to seek their acceptance of the
alternative approach. We have applied this methodology successfully as building
code and fire protection consultants for new and existing facilities throughout
the world. The approach involves:
- understanding the local code
environment and its effect on the design and approval of the project
- understanding the applicable codes
and fire safety standards
- understanding building
construction, building systems and their performance as they affect fire
safety
- analyzing the performance of
proposed fire safety measures and systems
- presenting proposed solutions to
owners and relevant authorities
