Fire scan existing dwellings

How fireproof are your buildings?

The fire safety of many existing dwellings often does not meet the legal requirements. That is why fires are too common and there are unnecessary casualties. Fire scans carried out by us at a number of housing associations show that many homes do not comply with the building regulations since completion.

We detect fire safety defects in all types of dwellings. Single-family houses built before 1980 are particularly high-risk. In many cases, faulty connection of the roof bulkhead to house-separating walls is the cause of an escalation of fire. In stacked construction, it is mainly the pipe passages that cause problems.

What is the fire scan

In collaboration with Efectis, we have developed the "Brandscan existing dwellings". It is an inspection tool for the systematic assessment of existing homes and residential buildings for fire safety. The fire scan is in two variants:

  • the regular fire scan for the risk complexes;
  • the compact fire scan for a screening of complexes that are likely to comply with the regulations.

How does the fire scan work

The fire scan consists of inspection lists with legal requirements according to the Dutch Building Decree 2012, a short explanation and a weighting model. In this way, a safety rating can be given based on registered shortcomings of a building. The inspection lists are filled on the basis of existing documents and drawings, supplemented by visual inspections and examination with the endoscope on site (or only by inspections if documentation is missing).

What DEMO does

DEMO carries out the inspections, prepare the reports and support you in drawing up a plan of action and working out solutions to meet the requirements of the Building Decree. We are also happy to take work off your hands by conducting the consultation with the fire brigade and the municipality. We are affiliated with brandveilig.com and train our consultants in the field of fire safety, for example as part of Rvb-BOEI training.
