When tenants make changes, fire safety has to keep up

A restaurant rebuilds the storeroom. A shop moves the shelving. The building is the same. The use has changed.

The tenant is converting the premises

Fire stopping, detectors, emergency lighting, one room that becomes two. FireHub follows the conversion, so there is no backlog and no gaps nobody knows about.

  3. FireHub

    The work touches the fire separation to the stairwell (fire strategy 2023). No fire-stopping documentation is dated after 12 March. Question sent to the fitter.

  4. Jonas

    The penetration is not sealed. It was not in the order. I can do it Thursday, 8,000 kroner, with a photo and data sheet.

    Alex

    Order it.

  5. Ordered. Documentation per penetration and an inspection are expected after the work. Filed to Storgata 15.

  6. The question came in March, when it cost 8,000. Not in November.

Situations FireHub resolves

  • There is always something else that is more visible.

    What is broken, what people ask for, what is urgent. FireHub keeps fire safety visible, so decisions are not made at the expense of fire prevention, and choices rest on the right basis.

What costs 8,000 in March costs 200,000 in November

The difference is whether someone saw it in March.

FireHub ties the owner, the tenants and the suppliers to the same building. When someone changes something, you see what has to be reconsidered and who has to answer.

  1. The restaurant on the ground floor got a new extraction duct in March. The fitter did his job and sent the invoice. The duct runs through the fire separation to the stairwell. Fire-stopping was not part of the job, and nobody had reason to think of it.

  2. Without that question: the inspection in November finds the open penetration, as the fire service should. An order with a deadline. A fire engineer to assess the whole separation. The kitchen closed for two weeks while it is fixed. Nobody did anything wrong. It just got expensive.

The next owner inherits what was never clarified, and the price is set accordingly.

Together in one building

Renovations, tenant changes and supplier work become part of the building's history

A tenant renovates. Another supplier comes in. The contact person changes. Something gets done without the landlord seeing the consequence until long afterwards.

Landlord / property manager

I need to know what has changed, what is clarified and what is still open.

FireHub helpsGathers what is clarified, per building and per tenant.

Brugata 24Shopping centre · 44 tenants

A new tenant means new use, new people and new questions.

FireHub helpsPicks up what should be reassessed when the use, the business or the contact person changes.

One building. Several businesses.

Tenant

I run my business and want to know what my responsibility is.

FireHub helpsSees what applies to the business and what needs clarifying with the landlord.

Facilities / supplier

I want to know what is waiting before I arrive.

FireHub helpsThe job comes with drawings, history and a contact person.

When the building and the people change

What happens becomes part of the history

FireHub keeps the connection between changes, completed work, documentation, confirmations and what still needs to be checked.

Tenant fit-out

The ground floor is being converted into a restaurant. The permit from the municipality still says office.

Clarification needed
Supplier work

Cable penetrations have been fire-stopped after the work on the ground floor. The supplier has delivered FDV (operations and maintenance documentation) for the work.

FDV (operations and maintenance documentation) received · 16 April
Deviations and measures

Escape route blocked in the stairwell. Reported by the tenant.

Cleared the same day · confirmed by the tenant
Site inspection pending

The supplier can document their own work. But the landlord's follow-up does not necessarily stop there.

Site inspected · confirmed by facilities · 22 April
Inspection

Annual inspection of extinguishing equipment. Two fire hoses in the contract do not appear in this year's report.

Clarification needed
FireHub speaks up

Every gap must be closed

FireHub makes it visible when new information changes the basis, when a role needs confirming or when two sources do not tell the same story.

Document · from tenant

Eat & Go AS has uploaded a new risk assessment

Updated after the renovation. Three of the points concern you as landlord.

Inspection · Brugata 24

The drawing shows 63 extinguishers. 62 have been inspected

FireHub finds one extinguisher on the drawing that is missing from this year's inspection report. The difference needs to be clarified.

Not clarifiedQuestion for the supplier

Missing answers are information too. FireHub makes it visible where the landlord still lacks a confirmation or clarification.

The rules that apply to you
The starting point

As the owner, you are responsible for the building, even when tenants renovate, change the use or come and go

The rules

The rules distinguish between the owner's duties and the user's duties. Among other things, the owner must know the requirements, coordinate the use, follow up inspection and maintenance, upgrading and systematic safety work, and document this. The tenant's business has its own duties for use, safety work and documentation.

FireHub

FireHub links owners, tenants and suppliers to the same building, so a change made by one party becomes visible to those who need to assess it.
