Join the replay of the webinar that was hosted by SOCOTEC experts on best practices in Fire & Life Safety for real estate projects in the Middle East.

This webinar explored fire protection and life safety requirements throughout the project lifecycle for Middle Eastern developments. It covered key regional regulatory frameworks including the Saudi Building Code (SBC), the UAE Fire & Life Safety Code (UAE FLSC), and applicable International Standards.

Maximizing Project Success Through Early FLS Integration: Early engagement of Fire and Life Safety (FLS) specialists supported efficient project delivery, cost control, and regulatory compliance by enabling proactive risk resolution, streamlined authority approvals, and construction-ready designs.

Projects involving complex or non-standard design conditions, including unconventional building forms, mixed-use developments, and historic renovations, often required performance-based approaches to demonstrate compliance. The webinar provided insight into maintaining Fire and Life Safety compliance during project delivery, including construction-phase requirements such as phased occupancy and construction-stage code compliance.

Drawing on real-world case studies from projects in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, participants gained practical insight into resolving compliance challenges and aligning design intent with construction realities.
