Measured on one real six-sheet A2 architectural set that we did not draw.
What happens to a set
The sheets tell it what the building is
The binding requirement depends on occupancy and height. Reading them off the sheets is the first step, and the one people get wrong: the height comes from the level the sheets caption as the terrace, not the highest number on the drawing.
- 1
Read the sheets
Occupancy, height and storeys deduced with no input; rooms recovered from the plans.
- 2
Find the binding rules
From the state schedule and the national code, for this occupancy and height.
- 3
Check, with citations
Each requirement checked and cited. "Not determinable" is an outcome when the drawing cannot settle it.
- 4
Draft the fire layer
An indicative layout merged onto the architect's own sheets.

FAQ
Questions people ask
What does the Drawing Checker do?
It takes a submitted drawing set as PDF, DWG or DXF, reads what the sheets say about the building, works out what the building needs for its fire NOC, checks the drawing against those requirements with each rule cited, and drafts an indicative fire layer.
Do I have to enter the occupancy and height?
No. It deduces occupancy, height and storeys from the drawing itself, for example from the room labels and the level captions on the sheets.
How long does a check take?
On one real six-sheet architectural set, the full check took 2 minutes 0 seconds end to end.
Is the output a fire NOC submission?
No. The output is an indicative layout for a licensed consultant, not a submission. It keeps the architect's PDF unchanged with the fire layer merged on top, adds a down-comer schematic sheet, and provides an editable DXF.
What is the status of the Drawing Checker?
It works end to end on one architectural set and has not yet been run across a range of drawings.
