Fire Safety Cladding: How PARKdesigned Are Supporting Safer Buildings

At PARKdesigned, we are deeply engaged in delivering high-quality fire safety cladding work to help building owners and responsible parties meet the current legislative requirements while improving the safety and resilience of the built environment. As architects with specialist experience in cladding remediation and building safety, we have been at the forefront of guiding our clients through the complexities of external wall fire performance.

The significance of fire safety in multi-occupancy and high-rise buildings has grown rapidly in recent years. Changes to legislation and the introduction of guidance such as PAS 9980 have placed increasing responsibility on building owners and managing agents to ensure that external wall systems meet the required standards. As fire safety cladding architects, we understand these pressures and offer a service tailored to support compliance with the Building Safety Act, Approved Document B, and associated industry standards.

Our work includes detailed assessments of existing cladding systems, coordination of intrusive investigations, design and specification of remedial works, and oversight of construction through to completion. We bring clarity and leadership to what is often a challenging and fragmented process. Working closely with fire engineers, façade consultants, contractors and legal teams, we help to ensure that remediation strategies are robust, buildable and commercially viable.

Through recent projects across the UK, we have gained significant experience in navigating the interface between architectural detailing, fire strategy, and compliance documentation. Our role often extends beyond conventional design to include project management, stakeholder engagement and supporting applications to government funding schemes such as the Building Safety Fund.

We approach each project with a clear focus on practical outcomes. We believe that well-considered design and logical technical detailing are key to achieving long-term fire safety while also ensuring minimal disruption to building occupants and leaseholders. Our clients value our responsiveness, our commitment to quality, and our ability to deliver on time and within budget.

As architects specialising in fire safety cladding, we are continuing to invest in training and research to remain at the leading edge of best practice in this evolving field. We are actively involved in delivering schemes where non-compliant materials are replaced with fully tested, non-combustible alternatives. Our team understands the importance of combining aesthetic sensitivity with rigorous technical performance, ensuring that the final solution is safe, durable and visually coherent.

If you are a developer, housing association, managing agent or building owner seeking expert advice on cladding remediation, PARKdesigned can support you through every stage of the process. We offer a flexible and responsive architectural service that prioritises building safety while protecting long-term asset value.
