Frequently Ask Questions
If you own or manage a building with a fire alarm system in the City of Vancouver, you are legally required to have a Fire Safety Plan under Vancouver Fire By-law No. 12472. This applies to residential stratas, commercial offices, restaurants, and construction sites. Without an approved plan, you risk heavy fines and occupancy delays from Vancouver Fire Rescue Services (VFRS).
The City of Vancouver has stricter access requirements than other BC municipalities. You must install a specific Mul-T-Lock cylinder lockbox that is keyed to the VFRS Master Key. We handle the complete permit application with the City of Vancouver Development and Building Services Centre and coordinate the installation to ensure it passes inspection.
Timelines depend on the complexity of your building, but we specialize in fast-track approvals. Because we know the specific VFRS 2024 guidelines and Pre-Incident Plan requirements, our submissions rarely get returned for corrections, saving you weeks of back-and-forth.
es. Under the Vancouver Building By-law, a Construction Fire Safety Plan (CFSP) is required before you can receive your demolition or building permit. We create site-specific plans that cover muster points, hot works protocols, and emergency vehicle access for Kitsilano, East Van, and Downtown sites.
You must review your plan annually to ensure it remains compliant with the BC Fire Code and Vancouver By-laws. If you make renovations or change the building's layout, an immediate update is required. We offer annual review packages for Vancouver strata councils and property managers.
