How it all began 

Soldi Group was founded in 2011 by Alex Petheram, following a career in construction that started on site at eighteen. With experience spanning Tier 1 contractors and international consultancies, Alex established Soldi to protect people and property with modern fire engineering thinking.

The business began with a single project for Morrisons in Weston-super-Mare following a fire at the petrol filling station. Over the following decade it grew into a diversified group of companies.

The group has continued to evolve under a single focused technical consultancy. Soldi Group today provides specialist fire safety engineering and CDM services across the UK and internationally, through our companies Soldi CDM and Fire Limited and Soldi Fire and Risk LLC.

Our work sits at the intersection of regulation, design, construction and fire safety. We are appointed where existing structures, heritage status, live occupation or heightened regulatory scrutiny create constraints that standard guidance does not address, and where clear, defensible technical advice is required.

Services include:

  • Fire safety engineering and compartmentation consultancy for existing buildings, estates and portfolios

  • Fire strategy and technical assurance for new, existing and listed buildings

  • Building Safety Act compliance support for duty holders, accountable persons and principal designers

  • CDM consultancy for clients, designers and contractors

  • Expert witness and independent technical advisory services

 

Our approach:

  • Early involvement where risk is set, not just managed later

  • Clear identification of risk, duty and responsibility

  • Practical solutions deliverable on site

  • Written outputs that regulators, clients and legal teams can rely on

 

Our clients manage large and diverse property portfolios including hospitals, schools, universities, public buildings and residential assets, where the consequences of getting it wrong are serious.

 

Our work is specialist and risk led, driven by technical judgement rather than volume.

Soldi Group operates across the UK and internationally. From the United States to the Middle East and Asia, we are open to commissions anywhere where the scope and fit are right.
