Passive Fire Protection Services - Architects & Designers.

We believe that effective passive fire protection design should start early at the design stage. Contego is committed to supporting architects, specifiers, draughting and BIM managers from the outset of each project with expert technical advice, support, training opportunities, and resources. Passive Fire Protection for design should consider more than just fire stopping design and this is where Contego can support design teams.
