Soldi CDM and Fire provides fire strategy review and technical assurance services for new, existing, and listed buildings across London and the South of England.
We review fire strategy intent, assess how it aligns with building design, management arrangements, and construction sequencing, and identify where assumptions, constraints, or changes in use introduce risk.
Our work supports clients, designers, and dutyholders where fire strategy requires clarification, challenge, or alignment with regulatory expectations. We provide practical, proportionate advice that supports life safety, buildability, and regulatory compliance, helping to avoid late stage redesign, delay, or enforcement.
Fire Strategy Review and Technical Assurance

Fire Strategy for New, Existing and Listed Buildings
Soldi CDM and Fire provides independent fire strategy review and technical assurance for complex buildings across London and the South of England.
We support developers, asset owners, designers, and dutyholders where fire strategy must work in real buildings, not just on drawings. Our advice focuses on life safety, regulatory compliance, and buildability, particularly where projects are constrained by existing layouts, heritage status, or live occupation.
