Fire protection drawings and code-compliance reports prepared to Civil Defence requirements, with support through review comments until approval.

Most projects in the Kingdom need Civil Defence approval before permits, occupancy or handover.

- A change of use, tenant fit-out or renovation of an existing building (SBC 901)
- Civil Defence comments on a submission that need closing
- A hotel, hospital, school or mall that must be brought into compliance
