Fire Plan Review
Pre-Submittal Plan Reviews
We provide pre-submittal fire plan reviews for construction projects to ensure fire code compliance with applicable fire and life safety codes, standards, and local ordinances before plans are submitted to the local authority. By identifying potential issues early, we assist design teams and contractors in avoiding costly revisions, preventing delays, and streamlining the approval process.
Types of Plan Reviews: Civil/Site Plans for Residential and Commercial projects, New construction (multi-family and commercial), tenant build out, subcontractor plans (fire alarm, fire sprinkler, fire suppression, etc.).
Jurisdiction Support Plan Reviews
We also provide contract fire plan review services for local fire departments and jurisdictions that may be short-staffed or in need of additional expertise in fire code compliance. Our team delivers timely, detailed, and code-compliant reviews to support fire prevention divisions, ensuring effective fire plan review and maintaining consistent operations.
Agritourism Projects
True agritourism projects are not required to be submitted to the local jurisdiction for plan review and approval. However, it’s still essential that these projects comply with applicable state statutes, adopted fire codes, and local ordinances. PIP Fire & Life Safety provides comprehensive plan review services specifically for agritourism developments, ensuring that your project meets or exceeds all safety and code requirements. Our expertise helps identify potential fire and life safety concerns early in the design process, keeping your project compliant, safe, and ready for operation.
Fire Code Consulting
Navigating fire and life safety codes can be complex, with regulations that vary by jurisdiction and evolve constantly. At PIP Fire & Life Safety, we simplify the process of achieving fire code compliance for construction professionals, building owners, and design teams. Acting as the bridge between your project and the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), we ensure that every project meets or exceeds fire safety requirements from concept to occupancy. With our expertise in fire protection systems, fire inspections, egress planning, occupancy classifications, and code compliance, our team leverages years of experience in both fire prevention and construction to anticipate challenges, communicate clearly with inspectors, and turn complex codes into actionable solutions. Additionally, we provide essential fire safety education and conduct thorough Fire Plan Reviews, ensuring that every aspect, including Fire Sprinkler systems, is addressed effectively.
Private Fire Investigations
PIP Fire provides private fire investigations for insurance companies, property owners, and businesses. After the local jurisdiction or state has conducted their fire inspections, we can perform a secondary investigation if requested. Our team thoroughly assesses fire scenes to determine the origin and cause, ensuring fire code compliance throughout the process. We also prepare detailed, professional investigation reports to support claims, legal matters, or risk mitigation, and we offer fire safety education to help prevent future incidents. Additionally, our services include a comprehensive Fire Plan Review and expertise in Fire Sprinkler systems.
Fire Safety Inspections
Assisting Local Jurisdictions
We provide fire and life safety inspections for local fire departments that lack the necessary staffing to ensure fire code compliance. Our services also include Fire Plan Review, fire safety education, and support for fire investigations.
Fire Inspections for Businesses or Commercial Property Purchases
We provide fire safety inspections for businesses that may require more routine inspections for insurance reasons or want to ensure they maintain fire code compliance at all times. These inspections complement the local jurisdiction's routine fire inspections. Additionally, we offer fire safety inspections for commercial properties you may be considering for purchase. This helps confirm that any installed fire sprinkler systems meet compliance standards and identifies if any repairs are necessary. We also emphasize fire safety education as part of our services and can assist with your Fire Plan Review.
Agritourism Projects
Ensuring the project has been built to code is still essential for safety and compliance. PIP Fire & Life Safety provides thorough fire inspections for new agritourism developments to verify that all fire and life safety systems, building components, and layout meet applicable state statutes, adopted fire codes, and local ordinances. Our inspections give owners confidence that their facilities are safe, compliant, and ready to welcome guests. We also provide reoccurring inspections to ensure your facility maintains fire complaint outside of the local jurisdictions fire inspections.
Fire and Life Safety Public Education
At PIP Fire & Life Safety, we offer comprehensive fire safety education to equip teams with the knowledge necessary for fire code compliance. Our training helps construction professionals, building owners, and staff understand regulations, prevent hazards, and respond effectively in emergencies. Additionally, we provide guidance on fire inspections and Fire Plan Review, empowering our clients to maintain safe, code-compliant environments with confidence, including the proper use of Fire Sprinkler systems.
Fire and Smoke Door Inspections
At PIP Fire & Life Safety, we offer annual fire inspections and smoke door inspections to ensure fire code compliance in accordance with NFPA 80 requirements. Our qualified inspectors verify that each door assembly operates correctly, closes securely, and maintains its fire-resistance rating to effectively prevent the spread of fire and smoke. We identify deficiencies, document compliance, and provide detailed reports to assist building owners and managers in maintaining safety, meeting code requirements, and ensuring reliable protection in an emergency. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of fire safety education and conduct thorough Fire Plan Reviews to enhance overall preparedness, including the role of Fire Sprinkler systems.
