Fire Safety Consulting for Construction & Development in Calgary & Alberta

Clarify fire safety concerns, organise project records, and plan practical follow-up as your site changes.

Support for changing sites and project teams

Construction, renovation, and development projects can bring changing access routes, temporary storage, multiple contractors, and work beside occupied areas. Fire safety questions can emerge between project stages, when responsibilities change, or when a finding needs a clear response. Maltters provides scoped fire safety consulting for owners, developers, contractors, and project managers in Calgary and across Alberta.

We start with your project stage and the decision you need to make. The scope may focus on selected site conditions, available fire safety documentation, an inspection finding, or preparation for the operational handover. We agree the areas, records, limitations, and deliverables before work begins.

Active construction

Review agreed fire safety concerns associated with work activities, storage, access, and coordination between teams.

Renovation and occupied areas

Clarify questions where construction work interfaces with people using an existing building and its emergency arrangements.

Handover preparation

Organise available records, open findings, and operational responsibilities for the next stage of the project.

How Maltters can help

Review available inspection findings, site procedures, and relevant fire protection documentation.
Observe agreed accessible areas and document visible concerns within the consultation scope.
Discuss prevention questions involving housekeeping, combustible storage, hot work arrangements, and changing work areas.
Review how emergency information and responsibilities are communicated between project teams.
Identify questions that require specialist testing, design input, or clarification from the relevant authority.

What your team receives

Deliverables are confirmed in the proposal. They may include a written summary of observations, a list of information gaps, and practical recommendations organised for follow-up.

We distinguish what was observed from what still needs verification. An action list can help your team assign responsibility, gather supporting information, and track unresolved items through the next project stage.

Consulting support does not replace your project’s required inspections, engineering design, system testing, construction supervision, or authority approvals. Any specialist work or formal submission must be separately scoped with the appropriate qualified parties.

A focused review in three steps

1. Define the project question

Tell us the location, stage of work, main concern, and any deadline or inspection finding. Identify who coordinates the response.

2. Agree the review

Confirm the available documents, areas to be reviewed, site access requirements, and expected output. Arrange a site visit where appropriate.

3. Plan the follow-up

Review the findings and limitations together. Identify actions for your team and questions for designers, contractors, or authorities.

Prepare for the first conversation

A short project summary is enough to begin. Explain whether the work concerns new construction, renovation, a change to an existing space, or handover. Share the Alberta location, relevant milestone, and the issue you want resolved.

Useful records may include the inspection report, current site fire safety arrangements, available drawings, and a list of outstanding questions. We will confirm which documents are relevant before the review. Mention any induction, escort, restricted-access, or scheduling requirements so the visit can be planned around site activities.

Please do not upload confidential drawings, access credentials, or sensitive project information through the public enquiry form. We can agree a suitable way to share relevant material after the initial discussion.

Construction fire safety questions

Can you help with one inspection finding?

Yes. A focused consultation can start with a specific finding and the supporting records. We clarify the scope, identify information gaps, and outline appropriate follow-up. The issuing authority determines whether its requirements have been satisfied.

Can you support renovation in an occupied building?

We can discuss a scoped review of the interface between the work and occupied areas, including available emergency arrangements and responsibilities. The review depends on access, documentation, and the particular concern.

Does this service include stamped drawings or permit approval?

No. These are not included in this consulting service. Where engineering design, formal code submissions, specialist testing, or approvals are needed, those requirements must be addressed through separately agreed services and the appropriate parties.

Can you work with our existing project team?

With your authorisation, we can discuss findings and follow-up questions with your designated project contacts. Roles, communication arrangements, and deliverables are agreed before work begins.

Clarify the next step for your project

Tell us your project stage, location, and main fire safety concern. We will discuss a focused scope and the information needed to get started.
