The Approval Journey: How It Works in Bangladesh

Step 1: Design & Documentation

Specialized engineers prepare fire-focused drawings and reports that reflect national guidelines and the building’s functional needs.

Step 2: Submission to FSCD

The complete package is submitted to the Bangladesh Fire Service & Civil Defence (FSCD) for their technical evaluation.

Step 3: Detail Review

Experts analyze the safety systems, structural arrangements, and emergency features to ensure compliance and efficiency.

Step 4: Field Assessment

FSCD officers visit the site to verify system installations, accessibility, and the accuracy of the submitted plan.

Step 5: Approval Issued

Once all requirements are met, the official Fire Safety Plan Approval is granted—confirming that your building is ready and compliant.

Why Some Projects Face Obstacles

Delays usually stem from:

• Missing technical documents
• Inaccurate or outdated safety layouts
• Improperly installed equipment
• Lack of coordination between design teams
• Deviations from national code requirements

A well-prepared plan and professional guidance eliminate these setbacks and streamline approval.

Renewal & Maintenance Responsibilities

After receiving approval, buildings must update and renew their fire safety license periodically. Regular equipment checks, drills, and system maintenance ensure the facility remains fully functional and inspection-ready.

A building that stays prepared maintains both safety and reputation.
