Fire risk assessments in Construction, England & Wales
LRMS provides suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments for construction sites, including temporary premises, site compounds and live building works. Construction fire risk is dynamic — hot work, combustible materials, temporary electrical supplies and evolving site layouts. We assess hazards, people at risk, detection, escape, emergency arrangements and management controls — producing a prioritised action plan that supports safe site operation.
Why local Construction knowledge matters
Construction fire safety is governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 alongside HSE guidance and CDM 2015. We understand the realities of live construction sites — changing layouts, contractor activity and temporary arrangements — and deliver proportionate assessments that reflect how sites actually operate. Specialist fire strategy and compartmentation survey work is referred to partners where required.
Fire risk assessments across Construction premises
We undertake fire risk assessments across commercial, residential and specialist premises. The scope and extent of the assessment is agreed according to the premises, occupancy, relevant fire safety legislation and the purpose of the assessment.

Construction fire risk assessment FAQs
Do you provide fire strategies or compartmentation surveys for construction?
No. We do not deliver fire strategies or compartmentation surveys ourselves; specialist work is referred to partners. We focus on construction-site fire risk assessment, RAMS review and practical H&S support.
Who is the Responsible Person for a construction site?
The Responsible Person is determined by control and legal responsibility for the premises — typically the principal contractor or client with control of the site.
Can you combine a construction FRA with a health and safety audit?
Yes. Where appropriate, we can deliver both in a single coordinated site visit — one consultant, one report cycle and one point of contact.
