Here at Fire Alarm Drafting Service, we understand how difficult it can be to get a fire alarm system approved by your local fire marshal. Fire Alarm Drafting Service was started in 1995 to help low-voltage contractors get their fire alarm plans done quickly, and still pass the plan-check process. By working with customers from all over California, we have been able to develop a comprehensive list of requirements for some of the strictest fire marshals in the state. This means that our plans are more likely to pass on the first inspection than other plans. That means that you can start installing the fire alarm system sooner, and have to deal with the fire marshal less, which saves you money and a lot of headaches.

Most of our customers just send us a set of marked up plans (with device locations), an equipment list, and a filled out copy of our "Job Information sheet" (available by Fax upon request), and have a finished set of fire alarm plans one week later. We keep the customer informed at every stage of the drafting process, allowing you to make changes at any time, and ensuring that the plans you receive are exactly what you wanted.
