As part of our ongoing commitment to fire safety, Frank Rogers Building Contractors recently completed a significant fire door installation project at Christleton High School, consisting of 26 fully compliant doorsets.
This project highlights our focus on meticulous traceability and comprehensive documentation, ensuring that every phase of the installation process adheres to the highest standards.
With fire safety being a top priority, our team has integrated cutting-edge technology to provide comprehensive traceability, giving clients access to detailed documentation with the click of a button or by scanning a QR code. This system offers instant access to vital information regarding the fire doors, ensuring all procedures are fully traceable.
Several factors have contributed to the success of the Christleton project, which aligns with our rigorous approach to all fire door installations:
• Collaboration with Teams: From the early stages, our estimating, surveying, and contract teams worked closely together to ensure all specifications were met.
• Manufacturer Engagement: We conducted thorough site visits and factory meetings with the door manufacturer to confirm that all designs and specifications were accurate.
• Pre-start Meetings: Our site management and installation teams reviewed the requirements before any work commenced, ensuring every phase was carefully planned.
• On-site Documentation: Using PDA technology, our team maintained comprehensive records throughout the installation, providing real-time updates on progress and compliance.
• Post-inspection Reporting: After installation, each door underwent an individual assessment, supported by detailed post-inspection reports and accompanying documentation.
• Complete Documentation: We gathered all essential information, including manufacturer installation records, design specifications, fire test evidence, and other relevant materials, ensuring every door complied with regulations.
Jason Sefton, Head of Fire Door Compliance at Frank Rogers, commented, "Our commitment to fire safety is reflected in the attention to detail and documentation we provide. We take pride in thoroughly capturing every step of the process, from initial order through to project completion, ensuring that our clients have complete transparency at every stage."
To showcase this innovative approach, we released a short video detailing the door audit process, highlighting how we ensure precision and compliance. (Note: Doors were temporarily held open for the drone shoot but were restored to full compliance immediately after filming.)
This project is just one example of our dedication to fire safety, and we look forward to continuing to raise industry standards with each project we undertake.
