Drawings
Layout and ceiling information
Send existing layout, proposed layout, reflected ceiling plan, fire protection drawings if available, landlord comments, and photos.
Scope
What the works affect
Tell us whether the works affect partitions, exits, fire doors, alarms, sprinklers, hose reel coverage, total flooding systems, kitchen exhaust, or other fire safety provisions.

Stages
What are the main stages in the FSSD submission process?
The common path starts with project brief and route review, then QP-ready coordination, formal SCDF / FSSD submission by the appointed QP, plan approval, approved works, RI inspection where required, and FSC / TFP coordination.
Route
How do we know which route applies?
The likely route depends on the intended use, current approved use, layout, floor area, means of escape, fire-rated elements, and affected fire protection systems.
Documents
What should we send for a first review?
Send the intended use, current approved use, approximate floor area, existing and proposed layouts, reflected ceiling plan if available, system drawings if available, and the scope of works.
Approval
What happens after SCDF plan approval?
The approved works proceed according to the approved plan set. After completion, the project may need RI inspection and FSC / TFP preparation coordination.
