PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS

Performance Solutions in action

Explore how performance-based fire engineering can unlock design constraints across commercial buildings and residential projects.

Performance-based strategies can help retain glazed architectural intent while demonstrating an equivalent fire safety outcome through targeted protection, separation logic and technical justification.

Beigman evaluates occupant movement, exit availability and tenability conditions to support practical egress strategies where standard travel distance limits restrict the design.

Beigman assesses fire exposure, structural risk and performance requirements to support efficient fire resistance strategies where a conservative approach would add unnecessary construction burden.

THE REAL PROBLEM

Fire engineering shouldn't slow your project down
— or quietly take value away from it.

Most projects don't fail compliance — they fail to defend design intent and commercial outcomes inside the compliance conversation.

The below are some examples of the pain points that we have resolved for our clients.

01

Approvals slow the project

Conservative interpretations, late discoveries and reactive engagement push approval timelines beyond what the program can absorb.

02

Design intent gets compromised

Prescriptive paths quietly trade glass for blank walls, oversize cores and consume usable area in the name of compliance.

03

Commercial value is left behind

Without an evidence-based strategy, conservative assumptions reduce the lettable / saleable area the project depends on.

Reza Abbassi, PhD, CPEng, NER

Director & Chartered Fire Safety Engineer

With a strong technical background and a deep understanding of the building code, I develop unique and cost-effective fire engineering solutions that satisfy both the client's vision and regulatory authorities.

My approach to solving complex problems was forged during my PhD in aerodynamic fluid mechanics, allowing me to bring an analytical and innovative perspective to the industry's most stringent fire safety challenges.
