Fire Plan Review
The Fire Prevention Division provides technical consulting to Contractors and Design Professionals to meet their plan review and construction needs for new projects for compliance with code requirements and scope of work following fire and building permits. All construction plans to be reviewed must be submitted to https://beniciaca.viewpointcloud.com. All construction work requiring a construction permit must be inspected and remain accessible and exposed for inspection until the inspector approves. A set of approved and signed plans (stamped "REVIEWED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE") are required to be on-site for each inspection throughout the construction/modification phase.
It is the property owner's responsibility to make sure that all required inspections are made on a project, including both in-progress inspections and the final inspection. The contractor, however, may schedule the inspections and be the one on-site contact for each one.
Plan Review Submittals:
Fire construction permits are required for all permit types listed below. Please reference the latest edition of the California Fire Code for a complete list of all required construction permit types.
Standard Fire Department Review Period:
The typical Plan review turnaround time is 10 working days.
Approval Notification:
Once the plans are submitted and payment is made, you will receive an email within 10 City of Benicia working days indicating plan approval. It will be your responsibility to print out a copy of the stamped review plans for your client and the job site. An on-site inspection will not be completed without these items present.
Construction Inspections:
To schedule fire construction inspections, please request inspections through the online portal 48+ hours in advance. The Fire Prevention Inspector is in the office Mondays, Wednesdays, and alternating Fridays. Please only request inspections on those days. If you have any questions, contact the Benicia Fire Department at (707) 746-4275.
