Same-day turnaround
How it works
- Send us the set. Email your PDF plan set — any trade, any Bay Area AHJ (we cover 28 metros nationwide).
- We pre-flight it. Within 4 business hours (same-day if it's in by 2pm PT), you get a Pre-Flight Report: every item scored pass / fix / must-fix, with page references and the exact fix language.
- You approve. The report is your rendering — nothing files until you sign off on it.
- We file clean. Your submittal goes in with the dumb stuff already caught — the stuff that causes ~80% of first-round corrections.
What we check — the 12-point pre-flight
Code basisRight code year for the AHJ (DC runs 2015 codes — we flag 2021 citations), right section for the work.
Title blockProject address, AHJ, sheet index, dates. Missing address = instant correction.
Door & hardware scheduleEvery door numbered, hardware sets listed, mag-lock doors flagged.
Listings on cutsheetsUL 294 on mag-locks, CSFM numbers where the AHJ demands them.
Sequence of operationRelease on alarm, fail-safe on power loss, manual release — per door. The #1 fire-reviewer correction.
FA interface shownWiring / FACP tie-in diagram — or an explicit "standalone" statement.
Egress & signageExit paths, exit signs, re-entry floors marked on plan.
Sheet mechanics24×36 convention, flattened PDFs, under AHJ file-size caps.
FilenamesSF rejects anything but letters/numbers/hyphens/underscores. We check yours.
Seals & signaturesDigital signature + timestamp where required, before upload.
Cross-permit referencesBuilding permit # on the fire app (SF), scope matching the application exactly.
File-readiness scoreX/12 clean. Anything must-fix = we don't file until it's fixed.

The honest fine print
The Pre-Flight Check is an expert completeness and consistency screen — it is not a code-compliance certification and not a licensed plan check. It catches the items behind ~80% of first-round corrections. Final authority is always the AHJ, and nobody can promise a first-round pass — we promise your submittal won't die on the dumb stuff.
