Construction and Engineering Awards 2021

Construction and Engineering Awards 2021 BUILD 43 Jul21011 ased in London and Derby, GBS Fire Protection is a company offering a myriad of exemplary passive, integrated fire protection solutions for commercial, residential, and industrial properties. The small and dynamic team is a young, energetic, and dynamic group that is keen on making fire safety solutions more accessible and reliable for everyone, with a wealth of industry knowledge empowering every service they provide. Additionally, with a breadth and depth of experience in the construction sector that allows it an outstanding level of aptitude when it comes to guiding clients on making the right choice in fire safety solution for their building or domicile, GBS Fire Protection promises the deliverance of performance-focused solutions. Due to this, each service it provides will always meet the specific requirements of its clients. In the 5 years it has been in operation, it has come from the humble beginnings of working out of a small summer house to two separate offices that its team works between, one being in the north and one in the south, striving to cover operations nationally and even internationally. Moreover, this has allowed it to gain a wide- reaching list of clients that all treat it as their go-to solution for fire protection. One of the biggest challenges it sought to resolve over its time in operation has been the risk of inclement weather impacting the effectiveness of certain solutions. For example, when spraying intumescent, heavy rain has in the past seriously impacted GBS Fire Protection’s process when carrying out its services – something that became a problem during February of this year. However, it was quick to mobilise its staff from the other site to go and check on the condition of the steels. In this manner, a client can always rest assured that GBS Fire Protection will be going above and beyond to ensure quality. This is bolstered by the fact that during this period of hardship, the staff at GBS Fire Protection worked weekends and other non-standard hours in order to keep the programme on track, and impressed the new client enough that it was asked to tender for the fire stopping works after the fact. For GBS Fire Protection, the biggest win it can achieve is a client asking it to return to work for them again. Therefore, it has funnelled significant effort into ensuring its client service solutions are among the best, advising and engaging with them early on in order to resolve any concerns or comments, understanding each of their needs and requirements. From spraying intumescent at the beginning of the project, to fire stopping at the close of it, it will promise constant communication throughout. This is especially pivotal in an industry that is ever-changing. With fluctuating legislation, changing needs, and a dynamic market into which new innovations, methodologies, and technologies are released daily, it recognises the need to remain adaptable and ready for changes as they come down the pipeline, with the knowledge and certifications to be able to do this quickly and effectively. Its vast array of fire protection services have become well known for being extremely comprehensive. Lastly, despite Covid-19 impacting supply lines, it is happy to announce that 2021 has been another landmark year for GBS Fire Protection. This young business has met and far exceeded its targets, and it excited and humbled by the support of its clients, many more of whom it hopes to help in the coming years, keeping them and their livelihoods safe from the risk of fire.
