Fire Code Compliance Plan Analyzer
Review building plans against fire codes and generate compliance reports
What You Can Do
You can upload building plans and specifications, then receive a structured analysis that identifies compliance gaps against applicable fire codes. Claude evaluates egress requirements, fire-rated assemblies, sprinkler systems, hazardous materials storage, and exit pathways—then generates professional corrective action letters ready for permit applicants and Fire Marshal documentation.
Features
Identifies which state and local fire codes apply to the specific project type and occupancy classification
Evaluates exit pathways, travel distances, door widths, and stair specifications against code minimums
Checks wall ratings, fire separation distances, and compartmentalization requirements
Assesses design adequacy, spacing, water supply, and coverage for the proposed occupancy
Identifies storage location compliance, segregation requirements, and ventilation standards
Flags violations with specific code section references and severity levels
Generates formal letters with actionable remedies and timeline recommendations
Produces reports formatted for Fire Marshal submission and applicant notifications
Example Output
Example 1 — Commercial Tenant Improvement
- Violation Found: Exit corridor width 40" (code requires 44" for 250+ occupants)
- Required Action: Relocate partition 4 inches westward
- Code Reference: IFC Section 1005.1(1)
- Status: Minor — addressable via plan revision
Example 2 — Sprinkler System Analysis
- Hazard Classification: Ordinary Hazard Group 1
- Design Density: 0.15 GPM/SF (calculated vs. 0.18 GPM/SF required)
- Finding: Water supply pressure insufficient for remote 12-head configuration
- Corrective Action: Increase pump discharge by 15 PSI or reduce head spacing to 10'6"
Example 3 — Fire Separation Distance
- Property line clearance: 18 feet (code requires 20 feet minimum for 3-story wood-frame)
- Gap identified: 2-foot deficiency
- Remedy options: Install 1-hour rated wall on south elevation OR modify roofline to reduce wall height
