Define the warning arrangements
Share the building plans and the proposed or existing fire safety strategy. The design scope should identify the warning functions and whether emergency intercommunication forms part of the project.
Coordinate the connected systems
Detection, sprinkler and other system interfaces may influence the warning arrangements. Record the intended functions and allocate responsibility for each connection across the design and installation team.
Keep the intended building use in view
The spaces, their use and the needs of the building’s occupants inform the design discussion. Confirm the assessment and documentation required for the actual project rather than assuming a single arrangement applies to every building.
