The UK fire safety specialist is introducing its technology-driven expertise to the UAE market.
The UK fire safety specialist is bringing its technology-enabled expertise to the market as the UAE continues to strengthen its building safety framework.
FDI Consultancy Services has launched in Dubai, offering independent fire safety and fire engineering consultancy services across the built environment. With new regulations focused on improving the safety, quality, and sustainability of buildings across the emirate, the company aims to support developers, designers, contractors, and asset owners with technical fire safety solutions throughout the entire project lifecycle—from concept design through construction to occupation.
Founded in the UK in 2020, FDI Group quickly established itself as one of the largest providers of fire door consultancy and inspection services. Known for its expertise in delivering digital fire compliance data, the company works with major residential developers and facilities management teams on high-profile projects, including London’s Canary Wharf expansion, and has built a reputation for helping clients navigate increasingly stringent building safety regulations.
Elliott Brown, Founder and Managing Director of FDI Group, said: “Passive fire protection is a key priority across the UAE, underpinned by a clear commitment to raising standards and digitalising compliance processes. Given our international experience supporting high-risk and high-rise buildings, we saw a significant opportunity in Dubai and beyond.”
“The response we have received from local stakeholders has been excellent so far. Having consistently championed the use of technology to improve information flow, we look forward to contributing to the future of passive fire compliance and supporting safer buildings for generations to come.”
Edward Gaynor, Director of Technical Excellence and Group Compliance at FDI Consultancy Services, added: “I have spent my career committed to life safety, and supporting FDI’s growth in this market was a natural next step. Our objective is straightforward: ensuring robust design, expert installation, and absolute system compliance across all passive fire protection projects.
“Passive fire protection is a discipline where focused, demonstrable expertise separates a building that performs from one that does not. Technical knowledge, attention to detail, and innovation have been at the heart of FDI’s work from the beginning, and these principles will continue to guide everything we do.”
The company’s services include fire strategy development, design reviews, regulatory approvals, construction oversight, commissioning, certification, and ongoing compliance management—ensuring fire and life safety requirements are integrated, verified, and maintained throughout every stage of an asset’s development and operation.
To support its expansion strategy, the company is currently building a team in Dubai, recruiting professionals who align with its commitment to high standards that have defined its success to date.
