The Plan Review Challenge Slowing Fire Safety Approvals
Fire Safety Reviewers carry an important responsibility: to prevent the unpreventable. Every site plan check—from fire access roads and hydrant spacing to sprinkler layouts and egress routes—builds a barrier between communities and catastrophe.

Yet outdated review solutions force reviewers to juggle PDFs, GIS maps, and permitting systems, wasting up to 40 minutes per review and delaying critical safety decisions. Fire’s mandate goes beyond code enforcement—supporting community safety, mitigating risk, and protecting lives. And without modern, integrated capabilities in this critical plan review, data visibility creates delays to safety decisions, triggering costly rework, stalling projects, and jeopardizing community safety.

Fragmented Workflows Increase Risk and Creates Delays

Toggling between PDFs, GIS maps, and permitting systems steals up to 40 minutes per review. Without unified data visibility in the review environment, conflicting comments and version confusion delays approvals.

Hidden Review Queues Create Uncertainty

Manual routing and ad-hoc handoffs between departments obscure who’s responsible and when reviews are complete. That lack of review status visibility stalls projects and erodes trust with officials and applicants.

Missing Spatial Context Breeds Oversights

Traditional plan reviews can’t validate hydrant reach, egress spacing, or hazard zones without GIS integration—leaving potential life-safety gaps undetected until construction.

Physical Separation of Fire House Compound this Complexity

Fire offices are often located separately from Building and Planning teams, and often work in silos due to the breath of remit. Paper transfers and email exchanges slow cycle times and make it hard to reconcile critical fire-safety updates.

The Result? Prolonged approvals for new construction and renovations, and project standstills that jeopardize community safety and growth.
