Fit out and Refurbishment Acronyms

FD – Fire Door. FD is a type of door that is designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in a building. FDs are usually made from fire-resistant materials and are fitted with intumescent seals that expand when exposed to heat. This seals the gap between the door and the frame, preventing the spread of fire and smoke. FDs are a critical component of fire safety in buildings and are often required by building codes and regulations.

HVAC – Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems are used to provide thermal comfort and indoor air quality in buildings. They typically include equipment such as boilers, chillers, air handling units, and ductwork. HVAC systems can help to regulate temperature, humidity, and air quality, which can have a significant impact on the comfort, health, and productivity of building occupants.

RAMS – Risk Assessments and Method Statements. RAMS are documents that outline the risks associated with a construction project and the methods that will be used to mitigate those risks. RAMS are a critical component of health and safety management in construction and are typically prepared by the principal contractor or project manager. RAMS can include hazards such as working at height.

VP – Vision Panel provide visibility through doors in commercial environments. Vision Panels are installed for safety reasons but also allow light to pass through. There are specific ‘zones of visibility’ required to meet regulations.
