We are not a building-control body, but our AOV and smoke-ventilation work is planned with BS 9991 principles in mind: protecting escape stairs, ensuring systems operate when called upon, and documenting maintenance. Surveys highlight gaps on existing blocks — missing manual controls, unreliable batteries, untested interfaces — and we propose practical upgrades. Pair BS 9991-aware smoke control with your fire-alarm and emergency-lighting regimes for a coherent residential life-safety package. Fixed quotes follow site-specific assessment.
