Childcare Facility Design

I am seeking limited-scope professional services to prepare Bureau of Fire Services (BFS)–compliant life safety floor plans for a child care center located within an existing church building in Michigan. This project is for licensing approval only (no structural changes planned) and is currently at the final BFS Plan Review stage. BFS has requested revised, professionally drafted plans in order to grant approval and schedule the fire inspection. Scope of Services Requested: 1.

Life safety / egress information, including: Identification of all exits serving the child care spaces Measured travel distances from each classroom to exits Confirmation of compliance without reliance on a sprinkler exception 3. Room and occupancy data, including: Age group assigned to each classroom (infant/toddler/preschool) Usable square footage per room Calculated occupant load per room 4. Code clarification elements, including: Identification of first floor vs. basement use (child occupancy limited to approved floors) Identification of any hazard areas (kitchen, mechanical, storage) and required fire separations Notes indicating rated walls/doors where applicable 5. BFS submission readiness, including: Drawings suitable for submission through Michigan’s Accela system (If required) professional seal per Rule 510 of the Child Care Licensing Rules Optional but preferred: assistance drafting a brief response letter addressing BFS comments
