Fire & Life Safety: Best Practices for Middle East Developments
Time (Local): KSA 11:00 AM | UAE 12:00 PM
Join the webinar hosted by SOCOTEC experts on best practices in fire safety and personal safety for real estate projects in the Middle East.
This webinar explores fire protection and life safety requirements throughout the project lifecycle for Middle Eastern developments. It covers key regional regulatory frameworks including the Saudi Building Code (SBC), the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code, and applicable NFPA standards.
Maximizing Project Success Through Early FLS Integration: Early engagement of Fire and Life Safety (FLS) specialists supports 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 require performance-based approaches to demonstrate compliance. The webinar provides 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 will gain practical insight into resolving compliance challenges and aligning design intent with construction realities.
