About us
Our commitment to the safety of occupants and the protection of property, our story and our expertise.
Our purpose
IntegriFire was founded in direct response to the substantial changes introduced by recent fire safety legislation, particularly those impacting the residential sector. The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced new responsibilities for Principal Accountable Persons and Accountable Persons, especially in relation to the management of Higher-Risk Buildings—defined as residential buildings that are 18 metres or more in height or contain at least seven storeys.
In parallel, amendments to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the introduction of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 have imposed additional duties for buildings over 11 metres, such as the requirement for annual fire door checks and enhanced resident engagement. These reforms have created a more demanding regulatory landscape that requires the input of competent professionals with a deep understanding of fire safety design, legislation, and operational management.
Our expertise and values
At IntegriFire, we offer a range of specialist consultancy services including the development of Building Safety Cases and Safety Case Reports, fire risk assessments (Type 1 to Type 4), fire strategy reports, fire door inspections, and fire safety management reviews. We support clients nationally across the residential, commercial, and public sectors, ensuring every project benefits from a compliant, risk-based, and performance-informed approach.
Our work is underpinned by a commitment to legal compliance, occupant safety, and asset protection. We understand that fire safety is not only a statutory requirement, but a core component of responsible building management. Our mission is to provide reliable, technically sound fire safety solutions that uphold the highest standards of professional integrity.
Our founder, Paul Parker-Edwards AIFireE MCMI MIFSM DipFD
I am the founder and principal consultant at IntegriFire, a specialist fire safety and engineering consultancy committed to enhancing building safety through expert, compliant, and integrity-led services. With over 38 years of experience in fire services and fire safety, including senior operational and managerial roles, I bring a comprehensive understanding of both practical fire safety implementation and strategic compliance.
My qualifications include a Level 5 Diploma in Fire Engineering Design, NEBOSH Certificates in Fire Safety and Risk Management, and the Level 4 Building Safety Management course for Higher-Risk Residential Buildings (HRRBs). I possess extensive experience in conducting fire risk assessments, developing Building Safety Cases, advising on fire strategy design, and ensuring regulatory compliance in both new and existing developments.
I maintain up-to-date and in-depth knowledge of key legislation and guidance, including the Building Safety Act 2022, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (as amended), the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, Approved Document B (ADB), BS 9999, BS 9991, PAS 9980, and other associated codes of practice. This enables me to provide informed, practical, and legally robust advice across a wide range of property types, including complex residential and mixed-use developments.
