FIRE LIFE SAFETY BUILDING CODE CONSULTING
Drawing / code compliance review of project plans to verify conformance with the applicable building and fire codes. Findings and recommendations to achieve code compliance are documented in a review letter with accompanying annotated PDF plans.
Tailored to the code requirements specific to the project needs. This report is used by the design team to develop a code compliant permit application set that will help reduce the number of plan review corrections and reduce the plan review processing time.
Development, preparation and assistance with processing Alternate Means and Methods to code compliance (code equivalencies; Requests for Modification) to code compliance challenges.
Code compliance meetings with approving agencies (Building and Fire Departments) to negotiate code compliance solutions and assist with resolution of plan review corrections.
Fire / Life Safety Egress Analysis Plans to include in the permit application set of documents.
Save time and money interpreting ambiguous and sometimes extraneous fire/life safety plan review corrections by having YCI assist with preparing responses to Fire/Life Safety Plan Review Corrections. YCI prepares code intent-based solutions to resolve plan review corrections using a collaborative approach with the Design Team and the Approving Agency Plan Reviewer(s). When appropriate, YCI prepares Alternate Means and Methods (or Requests for Modification) to address code compliance challenges and concerns raised during the plan review process.
Due diligence site observation visits of existing buildings to verify the level of code compliance and identify the extent of fire/life safety code required upgrades to facilitate building alterations, additions, or change of use.
