Soldi CDM and Fire provides independent fire engineering advisory and technical review services to support design teams, dutyholders, and contractors.
Our advisory work focuses on the review of fire strategies, alternative solution appraisals, and system performance commentary to support safe and compliant decision making.
We work alongside project teams to provide clear, proportionate technical advice that identifies risk, explains regulatory expectations, and supports practical delivery on site.
Our role is advisory and non design. We do not provide detailed fire engineering calculations or sign off authority. Where required, we support projects in collaboration with appropriately qualified and licensed specialists.
Our focus is independent technical review and assurance that stands up to professional and regulatory scrutiny.
