These videos are general educational explanations, not project-specific advice. A video or an individual test result does not establish that a building design is compliant. The material, proposed use, building design and applicable requirements need to be considered together.
If you need help understanding a report or responding to a fire safety question, contact Reza with the available documents. Beigman can discuss the assessment your project needs.
