Willdan Engineering presently provides fire plan review to a number of municipalities and jurisdictions throughout Southern, Central and Northern California. Willdan has gained a great deal of municipal insight and expertise in serving our extensive clientele over the years. We have performed fire plan review and inspection on projects ranging from single family residential additions to complex high rise towers (including hotels, casinos), arenas/stadiums, parking structures, medical facilities, and industrial centers.
Willdan's plans examiners are ICC certified fire plans examiners and/or certified fire marshals. In addition, our fire inspectors are all ICC certified fire inspectors.

Fire Inspection Services
Inspection staff will be available to meet with City staff, builders, developers, and citizens to provide assistance and resolve any inspection issues that may arise. Inspectors shall attend and participate in required meetings with other City inspection and plan review staff, property owners, contractors and/or design professionals.
Inspectors will review the permit package to verify that the on-site condition is consistent with the appropriate records for square footage, setbacks, heights, and other requirements that may be applicable.
Inspectors will comply with the City's procedures for reporting inspection results, use City inspection correction forms, make appropriate entries onto the permit documents, and follow City procedures prior to finalizing a building permit.
Willdan will verify that all inspection records, including daily records of what was inspected which will be recorded on the job card, and permit copy entered into the City's Building and Safety computer system.
We will employ such techniques as necessary to minimize delays to builders and provide helpful advice and counsel to builders, owners, engineers, and architects as to enhance the orderly flow of the construction process yet maintaining an effective level of enforcement. Inspectors shall ensure that any construction changes are documented and approved by appropriate City staff.
