BC Fire Code 5.6 Compliant Construction Fire Safety Plans

Construction sites present a higher risk of fire due to open flames, hot work, temporary electrical systems, combustible materials, and incomplete fire protection systems. Under BC Fire Code Section 5.6, construction and demolition projects are required to have an approved fire safety plan for construction sites in place before work begins.

Otis Fire Protection provides professional construction fire safety plan preparation services for new builds, renovations, tenant improvements, and demolition projects. If you are searching for a construction fire safety plan near me, our certified construction fire safety plan consultants deliver fast, compliant solutions across the Lower Mainland.

Fire Safety Plans for Building & Demolition Permits

Municipal authorities require an approved fire safety plan for building permit issuance. This includes projects requiring a temporary fire safety plan during active construction or a dedicated demolition fire safety plan for teardown phases.

We manage the complete municipal construction fire safety plan approval process and coordinate directly with local fire departments to avoid delays.

Why a Construction Fire Safety Plan Is Required

An approved construction fire safety plan is required for:

• Building permits
• Demolition permits
• Renovation and tenant improvement permits
• Temporary occupancy permits

A copy of the approved plan must be kept on-site at all times and made available to inspectors, site supervisors, and emergency responders.
