Be careful what you wish for.
Buildings constructed in the past should have been built to the fire regulations current at the time. The occupation certificate was issued on that basis.
Only in unusual circumstances will the local council require changes to bring the building up to current regulations.
These modifications can be very costly.
Before you do anything make sure the committee is with you. If you stir a hornets nest you will be the pariah of your building.
You can approach any company that does fire inspections for a report. Just be careful who you choose as some companies “beat up” the report in order to have you spend lots of money with them in upgrading the building.
