Gap analysis for existing buildings

Due to the increasing demand for housing, the topics of “housing densification” and “building refurbishment” are gaining growing importance in Germany. However, especially in older buildings, significant deficiencies in passive fire protection often remain hidden. These shortcomings can have devastating consequences in the event of a fire and may also lead to existential risks beforehand, such as usage prohibitions, business closures, or substantial fines.

We conduct a comprehensive condition assessment of your building by determining the approved target state based on the building permit documents and inspecting the actual as-built condition on site. The discrepancies between the actual and target states are documented, and cost-effective remediation proposals are developed collaboratively with you as the client.

Our services include:

  • Cross-trade comparison of the existing situation (from individual components to the entire construction project) with the available permit documents
  • Development of economically viable remediation proposals for identified deficiencies
  • If necessary, preparation of an individual fire protection certificate or a performance-based fire protection concept tailored to the existing building and its structural condition
  • Construction-phase monitoring of renovation measures, including documentation
  • Subsequent fire protection inspections
  • Preparation and submission of the required verification documents
  • Planning and application for deviation permits from applicable building regulations
