Following our work on developments at Berryfields for Martin Grant Homes over some years,ย ย ย Boast Architects were appointed to produce working drawings for 19 apartments in two blocks either side of a central courtyard.
Owing to restricted access at the entrance to the courtyard we produced a Fire Management Strategy Report which showed that the Fire Brigadeโs access requirements were satisfied and that all rooms were located within 45 metres of the closest fire appliance. This avoided the need for fire sprinklers in all of the apartments and achieved a significant saving in construction cost.
