A residential building is to be considered as high-rise if either of the following circumstances apply:
A mezzanine floor is to be treated as a storey if its floor area is at least 50% of the floor area of the largest storey in the building which is not below ground level.
BlockPro records all your tasks under the regulations:
Track remedials and keep a log of when they get completed, who by, and more.
Additionally – where a block is high-rise – if a fault on qualifying equipment cannot be rectified within 24 hours of its discovery, you must, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the local fire and rescue service by electronic means.
