Fireplace/oven/table type and intended use
EMBR + CAOR · PROJECT AUTHORITY CENTRE
Move from product interest to a controlled project specification.
Coordinate wood-burning fireplaces, fire tables, ovens and inserts around clearances, hearth/base, flue/chimney where applicable, drainage, weathering steel behaviour, coastal exposure, fuel, ash handling and local fire rules.
01 · PROJECT INPUTS
Define the conditions before the exact system is released.
These inputs are deliberately upstream of model selection so the product does not dictate the brief.
Outdoor/semi-outdoor/enclosed context
Combustible clearances and adjacent materials
Hearth/base/foundation/support
Flue/chimney/termination where applicable
Weather exposure, drainage and weathering-steel wet/dry cycling
Coastal/chloride proximity and corrosion risk
Fuel storage, ash handling and local fire restrictions
02 · EVIDENCE CONTROL
Keep project claims attached to what the evidence actually proves.
Generic declarations, outdated catalogues or unrelated certificates should not be carried into a project as exact-system evidence.
Exact material/thickness construction
Firebox/oven dimensional data
Flue/chimney component documentation where supplied
Heat shielding / clearances from exact-system documentation
Finish/weathering-steel care instructions
Local compliance responsibilities stated separately
Warranty and replacement component availability
03 · CAD / DRAWING REGISTER
Planning references are not exact-system construction drawings.
Every drawing/model status stays visible so consultants know what can be used now and what only exists after configuration or project-specific design.
| Resource | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Live-fire concept / planning layout | Public planning | Early scope, interface and consultant coordination only. |
| Generic technical reference / typical detail | Public planning | Explains system logic without representing an exact supplied configuration. |
| Exact-system GA / dimensional drawing | Exact-system | Issued only after the quoted system/configuration is known. |
| Native CAD / DWG / DXF | Verify availability | Availability and revision must be confirmed against the exact supplied system. |
| BIM / Revit / IFC object | Verify availability | Only described as BIM where a genuine verified native model exists. |
| Foundation / fixing / setting-out drawing | Project-specific | Depends on site/building conditions, local engineering and the selected system. |
| Services / electrical / controls interface | Project-specific | Coordinates the supplied system with local power, data, water, drainage or controls. |
04 · SPECIFICATION STARTER
Write the project around performance, interfaces and evidence.
These clauses are a project-planning structure, not a substitute for local professional specifications or exact-system documentation.
System type/use
Material/firebox construction
Clearances/hearth/base
Flue/chimney if applicable
Drainage/weather exposure
Weathering-steel care/coastal limitations
Fuel/ash operating requirements
Local fire/code interfaces
Maintenance/warranty
05 · TENDER / RFP SCHEDULE
Ask bidders for the same controlled information.
A consistent schedule makes technical comparison easier and reduces hidden assumptions.
System schedule
Site plan/context
Adjacent materials
Base/hearth
Flue requirement
Exposure/coastal distance
Local fire rules
Fuel/operation
Evidence/maintenance
06 · OPERATIONS & HANDOVER
Specify how the system will be maintained after delivery.
Maintenance, spares, records and inspection should be defined before purchase, especially for remote or high-use projects.
Ash removal
Firebox/oven cleaning
Flue/chimney inspection where applicable
Drainage check
Weathering-steel wet/dry maintenance
Coastal corrosion inspection
Door/hinge/damper maintenance
Fuel storage/fire-safety procedure
AUTHORITY GUIDES
Go deeper on the decisions that usually control the project.
These guides sit below the owner page and above exact product selection, so search, specification and project planning all point to the same technical logic.
