What issues can it catch?

Occupancy and egress non-compliance; fire rating and separation inconsistencies; sprinkler and fire alarm coverage gaps vs plans; structural code and load requirements that contradict stated codes.

Does it remove the need for plan check?

No. It helps you get through plan check faster by catching common issues before submittal, reducing revisions and permit delays.

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
