Fire Safety
Werner Sobek works with experienced engineers to develop high quality, cost-effective and sustainable fire safety concepts that are tailored to your building and its unique combination of uses in order to attain the safety goals laid out in your local state building code.
Preventative fire safety requirements are taken into consideration during all specialist planning processes and detailed in fire safety certificates and concepts.
We can support you with every service phase and with all kinds of projects, whether they involve standard or − our particular speciality − non-standard building designs.
We always focus on collaborating closely with the other specialist planners in our team to generate sustainable, holistic solutions that are optimised to meet our clients’ ecological and financial objectives.
Of course, we do not limit ourselves to working on new buildings, but also offer comprehensive, holistic support for the renovation and revitalisation of existing properties. We can even complete projects while your buildings are in use. Needless to say, you will also benefit from all the expertise of an international engineering firm that is renowned for structural planning, building physics and facades.

- Provision of fire safety certificates for standard building designs
