FAÇADE REMEDIATION AND RETROFIT SERVICES

Specialist expertise for
complex buildings.

IRS is a specialist Principal Contractor delivering Façade Remediation and Fire Safety Compliance, External Wall Insulation and Whole-House Retrofit across occupied residential buildings.

Different projects demand different technical solutions. Our approach remains the same: understand the building, identify the risk, bring the right expertise together and take control of delivery.

Three areas of specialist expertise.

One disciplined approach, one point of accountability, whatever the building needs.

and Fire Safety Compliance

Replacing hazardous materials, with works delivered through the BSR Gateways in England and Building Standards in Scotland.

The service is only part of the solution.

Complex projects involve far more than the work visible on the building. Design information, regulation, materials, programme, quality, residents, specialists, change and evidence all have to remain connected.

As Principal Contractor, IRS brings those elements into controlled construction delivery.

Direct teams.

Direct procurement.

Practical expertise.

Progressive evidence.

Our Principal Contractor approach →

Some of the most valuable work happens before construction starts.

Through early engagement and PCSA, IRS can support buildability, material selection, sequencing, logistics, programme, cost and resident impact while there is still time to influence the solution.

Resolve risk before it reaches site, and before it reaches residents.

People live here while we work.

Working in occupied residential buildings changes how a project needs to be planned. Access, communication, sequencing, working hours and disruption all form part of the delivery plan.

Different regulations. The same discipline.

IRS delivers across different regulatory environments. The route depends on where the building is; the discipline behind construction control, quality, information and evidence does not.
