Fire safety issues continue to be a challenge for new and existing structures, especially high-rise buildings. The difficulties continue almost five years after the tragic Grenfell fire brought attention to safety shortcomings. For example, the London Fire Brigade has revealed that there are more than 1,000 buildings in London that require residents to evacuate rather than shelter-in-place, owing to fire hazard problems such as flammable cladding.
To address the problem, digital tools can play an important role to improve fire safety protocols and building standards in the construction industry. Digitalization marks a new phase in safety and compliance. New technology tools, including digital construction apps and platforms, improve workflow and help to ensure that essential work has been carried out to the proper standards, thus ensuring fire safety.
In this Technology Report, PlanRadar addresses the challenges of fire safety and how a digital platform can improve fire safety compliance.
