Frequently Asked Questions

Role specific questions about how Rapid Access supports your work.

Which professions does Rapid Access support?

We work with architects and specifiers, building services (M&E) engineers, fire engineers and consultants, main contractors, facilities managers, and housing associations and local authorities. Each role has dedicated technical resources, evidence packs and a named point of contact for project work.

Do architects get NBS specifications and BIM objects?

Yes. Every product range has an NBS Source clause, IFC and Revit BIM objects, CAD drawings, fire test reports and a RIBA approved CPD. Architects can download direct or request a CPD seminar.

Can main contractors get phased delivery to programme?

Yes. Standard products dispatch in 3 to 5 working days. For larger schedules, main contractors get phased delivery aligned to construction programme, trade pricing and consolidated O&M packs at handover.

What evidence do fire engineers receive with each order?

Every fire rated product ships with the relevant UKAS test report from BRE or Warringtonfire, declaration of performance, classification report and installation method statement. Bi directional test evidence and field of application reports are available on request for fire engineers.

Do housing associations get portfolio supply agreements?

Yes. Housing associations and local authorities running compartmentation remediation, fire safety upgrades or meter overbox programmes can set up framework supply agreements with consistent pricing, fast turnaround and consolidated certification packs across the portfolio.
