Independent Peer Review
Peer Review is an independent and unbiased evaluation of the principles, judgement and application of a process. Our highly qualified and experienced chartered engineers, fire engineers and forensic investigators will evaluate the quality of fire safety, engineering and investigative work.
Commission of a Peer Review
Any stakeholder with an interest in a project whether it be for safety, financial or environmental reasons may engage the services of an independent organisation to carry out a peer review.
The scope of the review could include the whole project such as review of the design objectives, documentation, compliance with legislation, standards and codes, suitability of methods used, input parameters and any assumptions. Alternatively the scope of the review could be limited to individual aspects of the project such as calculations, modelling, conclusions, recommendations etc.
