Outsourcing fire protection to a specialist subcontractor
We take over the complete passive fire protection of your project, including the handover file.
For contractors, installers and construction management firms: we take over the complete passive fire protection of your project, including the handover file your client asks of you.
Fire protection is specialist work with its own framework of standards, its own tested systems and a documentation obligation that does not bend to the schedule. Many contractors and installers include it in the contract sum and outsource the execution - simply because the liability from a wrongly applied system is too great to take on as a sideline.
We are that subcontractor. For new build, renovation and catch-up programmes in existing buildings, from a single item to the complete fire protection scope of a project.
What we need from you for a quote
- Drawings showing the compartment boundaries, or the fire safety concept.
- A bill of materials or penetration schedule, if one exists - otherwise we estimate from the drawings.
- The construction schedule, with the phasing and the firm handover date.
- The preferred format for the handover file.
With those documents we normally deliver an itemised quote per line within five working days.
What we stand behind
- VCA-certified team
- ISO 9001 and Kiwa K21050 as an organisation
- Execution within the tested classification
- Handover file per component, in your format
- Accountable at a re-inspection of our work
Do you regularly work with fixed subcontractors? We are happy to set up framework agreements for multiple projects.
Schedule an introductionWhat you gain from it
One discipline, fully covered
Seals, fire doors, steel cladding, separating structures, glass and fire dampers from a single source. No coordinating four parties who point at each other when the WBDBO is not achieved.
The file is part of the work
Per completed component: location, system, certificate, date and photo - in your format. At handover you have nothing left to reconstruct.
VCA-certified and used to a building site
Our team works VCA-certified, takes part in your site meetings and complies with your safety and access regime.
In step with the phasing
We return in phases as the pipework progresses, rather than once at the end when everything is already closed up.
Deployable nationwide
From Den Haag throughout the Netherlands, including several projects for the same client at once.
Accountable at a re-inspection
If anything in our work is rejected at handover, we resolve it. That risk does not sit with you.
Which items we take over
The complete structural fire protection, or just the items you do not do yourself.
Fire-Resistant Seals
Sealing penetrations against fire with collars, wrap strips, sealant, mortar or other systems with a substantiated application, so that the WBDBO of your fire separation stays intact.
More about fire-resistant sealsFire-Resistant Steel Cladding
Fire-resistant cladding or coating for steel beams and columns, so load-bearing capacity is retained for up to 120 minutes in a fire.
More about fire-resistant steel claddingFire-Resistant Glass
Fire-resistant glass made to measure: glazed partitions, screens and glazing with EI 30 or EI 60 classification, supplied and installed.
More about fire-resistant glassFire-Resistant Doors
Fire doors made to measure, adjusted or refurbished: up to 60 minutes fire resistance, smoke-resistant where required, self-closing and certified.
More about fire-resistant doorsFire dampers
Installing, testing and maintaining fire dampers: automatic shut-off of ventilation ducts at every compartment boundary.
More about fire dampersFire-Resistant Separating Structures
Fire-resistant walls, partition systems and ceilings that divide your building into manageable fire compartments.

Enquiry and quote
You supply drawings and a bill of materials, we quote per line item. Where quantities are unclear, a target budget with a time-and-materials rate.
Scheduling within your phasing
We align with your construction schedule and return in phases as the pipework and finishing progress.
Execution on site
VCA-certified fitters, taking part in your site meetings and working under your safety regime.
Handover and file
Per component: location, system, certificate, date and photo - delivered in the format you pass on to your client.

Both. With a clear scope backed by a bill of materials or penetration schedule, we quote a fixed contract sum per item. For catch-up programmes where quantities are not fixed in advance, we work on a time-and-materials basis at an agreed hourly rate with a target budget, and report weekly on what has been completed.
For smaller crews usually within one to two weeks. For larger deployments or several crews at once, advance coordination is needed. With a looming handover date we always look at what is possible - state at enquiry which date is firm.
To you, in your format if you have one. For each completed component the file contains the location, the system applied, the certificate, the date and a photo. You can include it directly in your own handover file.
For the work we carry out: yes. We vouch for the correct system choice and execution within the tested classification, and record this per component. For the premises - which WBDBO is required where - we rely on the drawings and the fire safety concept you supply.
Yes, and that is often sensible. Sealing penetrations before ceilings and finishes close up is faster, cheaper and easier to verify than doing it afterwards. We align with your construction schedule and return in phases as the pipework progresses.
Additional work is reported in advance and confirmed in writing before it is carried out. On time-and-materials work you see the status weekly. We have as little interest as you do in a discussion about unexpected items at the end of a project.
