Additionally, we ensure that fire hydrants and backflows are properly integrated into the project plans.
Types of Plan Reviews: Civil/Site Plans for Residential and Commercial projects, New construction (multi-family and commercial), tenant build out, and subcontractor plans including fire sprinkler, fire alarm, and fire suppression systems.

Agritourism Projects
True agritourism projects are not required to be submitted to the local jurisdiction for plan review and approval. However, it’s essential that these projects comply with applicable state statutes, adopted fire codes, and local ordinances, including regulations concerning fire hydrants and backflows. PIP Fire & Life Safety offers comprehensive Fire Plan Review and Consulting services specifically for agritourism developments, ensuring that your project meets or exceeds all safety and code requirements.

Navigating fire and life safety codes can be complex, with regulations that vary by jurisdiction and evolve constantly.

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. We conduct thorough Fire Plan Reviews and Consulting to address all aspects of fire safety, including Fire Sprinkler systems and Fire Hydrants, while also ensuring that Backflows are managed effectively.

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 Consulting, expertise in Fire Sprinkler systems, and assessments of Fire Hydrants and Backflows.

We provide fire and life 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.
