Phuket Condo Fire Doors and Escape Routes: Buyer Checklist

Phuket Condo Fire Doors and Escape Routes: Buyer Checklist

Check fire doors, stairs, signs, lighting, obstructions, inspection records and responsibility before buying.

An escape route must work as a complete route

Walk from the exact unit to a safe discharge point without using a lift. Check door closers, latches, seals, glazing, stair enclosures, emergency lighting, signs and access controls. Record locked, wedged or obstructed points and compare them with approved plans, drills, inspection logs and corrective-work records.

Ask who tests each element, how failures are escalated and whether overdue work is funded. A viewing cannot establish legal compliance or fire performance; use qualified local specialists. Read the fire-system guide, juristic finances and buyer service.
