Performance-Based Design
Performance-Based Design in Life Safety focuses on achieving specific safety performance goals tailored to a building’s unique needs. Instead of strictly adhering to prescriptive codes, this approach uses advanced engineering principles and modeling techniques to predict how a building will perform in fire scenarios. This allows for innovative, flexible solutions that ensure optimal safety, functionality, and cost-effectiveness for your project.
Innovative Solutions
Building codes often define what can and cannot be designed, but the answer isn't always straightforward. If you're looking to think outside the box and design with the intent of the code in mind, we are here to assist. Our performance-based design team specializes in engineered solutions to address various fire, life safety, and building code challenges, providing innovative and compliant results.
