Fire sprinkler plans, NFPA 13/20, FM Global
AI Fire & Life Safety Checker
Review fire sprinkler plans against NFPA 13, NFPA 20, and FM Global standards (FM 8-9, FM 3-7). Also catches egress violations, fire rating conflicts, and code compliance gaps. Results in days, not weeks.
Best for: Fire protection engineers, Plan reviewers, Fire marshals, GCs.
Fire Sprinkler Plan Review & Life Safety Compliance
We review fire sprinkler plan sets against standards like NFPA 13, NFPA 20, and FM Global (FM 8-9, FM 3-7). Also covers egress, fire ratings, and fire alarm coordination.
Fire protection violations are especially problematic because they can halt construction, fail inspections, and require extensive redesign.
Common issues that lead to costly rework:
- NFPA 13 — Installation of Sprinkler Systems
- NFPA 20 — Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection
- FM Global Data Sheets — FM 8-9, FM 3-7, and others
- IBC fire code requirements
- Local fire marshal requirements
- Egress and means of egress codes
- Fire rating and separation requirements

What Construction Professionals Say
GCs, architects, engineers, contractors, and developers use InspectMind AI to catch issues before they hit the field.
"InspectMind caught 47 critical issues on our cold storage project—conflicts that would have cost us millions in field rework. It paid for itself on the first review."
Aaron Bass
Director of Construction, Cold Summit Development
"We used to spend 40+ hours on plan review. Now I upload the drawings, and get back a complete issue report that catches code violations I would have missed. It's a no-brainer."
Julio
Owner, Pesco Engineering
