Scope of Code Consulting Support Provided

Depending on the project scope and jurisdiction, Zari Consulting Group’s consulting support for developments involving Tishman Speyer has included the following activities:

  1. Site analysis for conformance with the International Building Code (IBC), including:
    • Fire separation distances
    • Exterior wall rating requirements
    • Allowable openings in exterior walls
    • Potential area increases related to frontage conditions (where applicable)
    • Fire department operations considerations, including access routes, hydrant locations, Fire Department Connections (FDCs), and hose reach.
  2. Meetings and site surveys to confirm site constraints and develop an understanding of the building layout and project goals.
  3. Floor plan review to evaluate occupant loads, exit access, and exit enclosures, and to coordinate code pathways with life-safety objectives.
  4. Coordination with architects and project stakeholders to clarify fire protection and life-safety objectives early in the process.
  5. Architectural plan review for nonstructural fire protection and life-safety requirements under the International Building Code (IBC) and International Fire Code (IFC).
  6. Review of site plans and infrastructure documentation related to fire access roads, fire protection water supply, electrical power, and fire alarm infrastructure.
  7. Alternate compliance support, including Alternate Means and Methods Requests (AMMRs), engineering judgments, and variances when design issues arise—aimed at maintaining an equivalent level of life safety and code intent.

    Where required, engineering judgments can be signed and stamped by a licensed Fire Protection Engineer.
