Sector route / CIV

Coordinate compartmentation, steel protection and façade interfaces before handover pressure.

Complex MEP, façade and movement interfaces across residential, commercial and infrastructure projects.

Operating context

Civil Construction changes the answer.

Construction PFP sits between design, MEP, façade, civil, finishing and inspection teams. Late discovery of openings and interface gaps creates variation, rework and handover risk.

Vortexen provides system-led firestopping, fireproofing, boards, perimeter containment and documentation with a simple path: send drawings and BOQ, request a survey or request a system review.

Civil Construction questions

Clarify the first decision.

01When should PFP coordination start?+

Before procurement and before openings or façades are closed. Early surveys and schedules reduce emergency fixes.

02Who owns openings created by later trades?+

The project responsibility and variation process should identify this before work begins.

03What should a close-out dossier contain?+

Approved systems and materials, location schedule, installation and inspection records, photographs, deviations, rectifications and acceptance evidence.

Describe the asset, condition and decision deadline.
