Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) Fire Code Consulting

Expert Fire Protection Engineering for Military Buildings

The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) outlines essential requirements for the planning, design, construction, sustainment, and modernization of military buildings. According to UFC guidelines, “major projects require the services and review of a qualified fire protection engineer. Projects involving the design or modification of fire-rated construction, fire detection, fire suppression, or life safety systems require the services and review of a qualified fire protection engineer.”

Given the unique security needs of Defense facilities, the UFC enforces higher construction standards compared to other buildings. For instance, military buildings typically require non-combustible materials, and early fire detection devices are commonly installed. Additionally, all components of a Department of Defense facility must undergo comprehensive engineering design, as “design-build” systems are generally prohibited to ensure consistent safety standards.
