Structural Fire Engineering

Architectural design must demonstrate compliance with the building code in order to receive a permit. Unfortunately, the building code was not developed to be an all-encompassing document able to anticipate every angle of innovative building design.

At Holmes, our clients often approach us with very unique and creative ideas that dream bigger and beyond the code. Rather than limiting these ideas and producing cookie-cutter designs, Holmes strives to evaluate and apply the true intent of specific code provisions—developing fire and life safety solutions based on science and sound justification so that the design team has the flexibility it desires to innovate.
