Drawing Checker makes a drawing set fire NOC worthy. Built by Siya Habitats Pvt. Ltd., the technology and services division of IFE, Nagpur, it checks the architect's drawings against every fire NOC requirement for the building, cites the clause for each gap, and drafts the fire safety details onto the architect's own sheets. It is deployed and running on live drawing sets, delivering NOC-worthy drawings.
A submission is checked against a state schedule, a national code and the standards they call up, and the binding requirement depends on the building's occupancy and height. A 14 m office and a 46 m apartment tower need different systems, tank sizes and pump duties. Get the occupancy or the height wrong at the start, and every check after it is made against the wrong requirement.
Done by hand, that means a person reading every sheet, cross-checking every row of the schedule and every clause of the code, for every submission. It is slow, and a missed item usually comes back as a revision.
Usually, the set includes:
The local fire department may ask for more. In Maharashtra, section 3(1) of the Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006, as substituted in 2023, requires measures not less than Part 4 of the National Building Code and not less than Schedule I of the Act, and where the two differ the stricter governs. Siya Habitats lists each item with its clause in its fire NOC drawing checklist.
It does the checking work in one pass:
The checks run against NBC 2016, NBCS 2026 and the binding state rules. The outcome is a NOC-worthy drawing set: from the architect's sheets to drawings that are ready to go in.
Anyone preparing or reviewing a fire NOC submission: the architect who drew the building, the owner or developer who needs the approval, and the fire consultant who prepares the fire safety drawings. Each of them gains the same thing, which is knowing every gap and its clause before the set goes to the fire department, not after.
No drawing check can guarantee a fire NOC. What Drawing Checker delivers is a NOC-worthy drawing set, with every gap found and cited before it goes in. Siya Habitats delivers NOC-worthy drawings and a NOC-worthy solution, so the submission starts from a set that already meets the code it will be judged against.
At IFEM, fire safety is taught around the National Building Code 2016 and the state rules that make it binding. Reading a drawing against those rules, sheet by sheet and clause by clause, is the skill behind every good submission. Drawing Checker applies that discipline to every set and shows which rule applies, which clause it comes from, and what still needs to change.
