                                  Who is responsible to engage the Qualified Person (QP), Fire Safety Engineer (FSE), Peer Reviewer, and/or Registered Inspector (RI) for the building fire safety design/approval process?

                                  Can a building fire safety design be entirely base on performance-based requirements?

                                  Is it mandatory to engage a Registered Inspector who is an FSE for performance-based submissions?

                                  What is the rationale of allowing developers/QPs to choose the type of approach (i.e. prescriptive or performance-based) to fire safety design?

                                  At which stage does the FSE, Peer Reviewer and the RI come into the picture for plan submission?

                                  There is no peer reviewer in the current system. Would it not raise costs if this is now mandatory under the performance-based system?

                                  Will it be necessary to engage a Fire Safety Engineer to re-evaluate addition & alteration works to a performance-based designed building?

                                  Between the prescriptive and the performance-based approach to Fire Safety design, how would people know which to choose?

                                  How will I know if a building has some performance-based design elements to its Fire Safety Design?
