Navigating building regulations can be challenging, with increased responsibility placed on specifiers under the Building Safety Act and tightening requirements around fire and security-rated doorsets. Compliance is no longer simply best practice; it’s essential.

With the golden thread of accountability at the heart of what we do, JELD-WEN provide a wide range of flat entrance and internal fire-rated doorsets to give you confidence in every specification, from design to delivery, we ensure no detail is overlooked, so you can focus on creating exceptional spaces.

 

 

I support specifiers throughout the entire RIBA Plan of Work stages by providing practical and tailored guidance that strengthens design intent, ensures compliance, and reduces project risk. From early strategic decisions through technical development and construction, I help clarify performance requirements, streamline doorset selection, resolve coordination issues, and supply the evidence needed for confident, compliant specification. My role is to make the doorset journey smoother at every phase, whatever the project demands.​

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM YOUR TAILORED SPECIFICATION CLINIC​
