Gateway Two Consultation (Pre-Construction Planning)
As the new Gateway Two regulation sets a higher standard in passive fire protection, Element PFP is proud to launch our Gateway Two Consultation, a bespoke service designed to help your organisation expertly navigate, comply with, and benefit from the latest regulatory change.
What Is the New Gateway Two Regulation?
The Gateway Two regulation is a critical part of the UK Government’s Building Safety Act, introduced to raise standards of fire and structural safety in high-rise and higher-risk buildings.
Gateway Two is the statutory approval stage that sits between the design and construction phases of a building project. Before any construction can begin, developers must now demonstrate full compliance with building safety regulations, especially in areas relating to fire protection and resident safety.

This includes submitting detailed information about:
-
Fire strategies and safety measures
-
Passive fire protection systems (e.g. fire doors, walls, compartments)
-
How safety will be maintained throughout the construction phase
-
Ongoing maintenance plans for key safety systems
All documentation is reviewed by the Building Safety Regulator, and no work can proceed without formal approval.
How We Help
Our dedicated Gateway Two Consultation service is built to support you through every requirement of this regulation, ensuring your project can move forward with confidence and compliance.
Early-Stage Compliance Support
We work with design teams and dutyholders from the outset to ensure that all passive fire protection elements are accurately planned, specified, and documented, ready for submission to the Building Safety Regulator.
Detailed Fire Strategy Reviews
Our team assesses your fire strategy documentation and offers expert guidance to ensure alignment with Gateway Two expectations, including compartmentation, fire door schedules, and material suitability.
Construction-Ready Documentation
We prepare and help compile the required evidential documentation for Gateway Two submissions, providing third-party accredited reports, specifications, and compliance tracking to support your application.
Passive Fire Protection Integration
We ensure your fire doors, walls, ceilings, and other passive systems are not only compliant but fully traceable, with electronic tagging, lifecycle tracking, and ongoing maintenance plans that satisfy Gateway Two scrutiny.
Bridge Between Design & Delivery
As a specialist contractor, we act as the link between designers, principal contractors, and the Regulator, ensuring safety intent is carried through into safe execution, backed by proper records and sign-off.
Ongoing Support Beyond Approval
We don’t stop at approval. Once Gateway Two is passed, we support you with aftercare, maintenance schedules, and continued regulatory alignment to keep your building compliant throughout its lifecycle.
Why Gateway Two Matters
This regulation marks a step-change in accountability, placing greater responsibility on developers, contractors, and dutyholders to ensure that fire safety is embedded from the outset, not treated as an afterthought.
For building owners, facilities managers, and responsible persons, Gateway Two means:
-
More rigorous oversight of fire protection design and install
-
A requirement for traceable documentation throughout the building lifecycle
-
Increased legal accountability for safety compliance
With this in mind, Element PFP’s Gateway Two Consultation is designed to help you confidently meet these new requirements, with expert advice, planning support, and third-party validated fire safety strategies.
