Fire Plan Review Services

At Tier One Fire Consulting, our Plan Review Division provides independent, code-defensible evaluations of fire protection and life safety designs to improve accuracy, streamline permitting, and reduce costly resubmittals. We review drawings and narratives against the IFC/IBC and applicable NFPA standards, confirm coordination between disciplines, and provide clear, actionable comments that keep occupants protected and firefighters safe. From early design through permit approval, we deliver precise feedback and AHJ-ready documentation that moves projects forward efficiently.

Third-Party (AHJ-Based) Fire Plan Reviews

Tier One Fire Consulting performs third-party plan reviews on behalf of Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) to verify compliance with IFC, IBC, and NFPA requirements. We assess egress, fire-resistance features, fire alarm and sprinkler criteria, special hazards, and documentation quality, issuing formal review letters with traceable comments and code citations. Our process strengthens enforcement consistency, shortens approval timelines, and supports public safety.

Approved Jurisdictions

Tier One Fire Consulting is recognized by numerous Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) across the United States to perform independent third-party fire protection and life safety plan reviews. Our approved status with multiple jurisdictions reflects our proven accuracy, code expertise, and commitment to ensuring firefighter and occupant safety on every project.

Private (Client-Based) Fire Plan Reviews

For architects, engineers, owners, and contractors, our private plan review delivers constructability checks and code alignment before submittal. We resolve discrepancies across architectural, MEP, and fire protection sheets; validate system triggers and design criteria; and prepare permit-ready responses to anticipated AHJ questions. The result is fewer surprises, fewer change orders, and a smoother path to approval.
