Commercial Buildings & Offices

Open work areas, meeting rooms, storage, electrical rooms, retail and shared services.

Fire protection considerations

What makes commercial buildings & offices different

Commercial buildings often combine offices, retail, storage and shared services under one roof, with occupancy changing throughout the day. Fire protection must reflect the building’s layout, tenants’ activities and the building services that support them.

Key considerations

  • Multiple tenants with different activities
  • Changing layouts during fit-outs
  • Server and electrical rooms housing critical equipment
  • Visitors unfamiliar with the building
  • Coordination with building management systems

Typical fire risks

  • Electrical installations and IT equipment
  • Storage of paper and packaging
  • Tenant kitchens
  • Generators and fuel
  • Refurbishment hot works

Risks and requirements vary by facility. A site-specific assessment confirms what applies to your building.
