Project overview
At the heart of the Silicon Docks, located on Cardiff Lane, the former “Sorting Office” has been transformed into a state-of-the-art commercial development aligned with the modernisation of this part of the city. Covering 202,000 sq ft of commercial space over a 7-storey LEED platinum office building, it is situated amongst some high-profile tech neighbours. The building comprises a basement carpark, a spacious atrium open from the ground to the top storey, office space, retail units, and impressive high-speed scenic elevators. Collaboration was at the heart of this development, so wide, open floors are featured throughout the building.

BB7 Response
BB7 were appointed as the lead fire & access consultant on the client’s technical due diligence team. Our role involved reviewing information relating to compliance with Parts B & M of the building regulations and raising queries with the design team in order to satisfy ourselves that the functional objectives of the Building Regulations would be met. As such, BB7 were well positioned to understand the client’s requirements and support them throughout the project.
Benefits of service
The team completed the due diligence exercise on the building’s safety file and identified items that the client should be aware of. In addition, the fire and accessibility statutory approvals for the building were documented along with their conditions. The fire safety management strategy for the building was also outlined to ensure that the client was aware of their obligations.
Additionally, we attended site to ensure that the development was being constructed in accordance with the relevant information provided to us by the principle design team.
