- Large post-war housing estates feature prefabricated timber-frame panels requiring rigorous fire-stopping compartmentation surveys to slow fire spread between homes.
- Mixed-use parade
- Shops with flats above need separate consideration for the commercial space and the residential stairways serving the upper floors.
