Who prepares the FALAR 2 documentation for a building project?

The preparation of the FALAR 2 documentation for a building project is typically the responsibility of the contractor. FALAR, which stands for Fire and Life Safety Assessment Report, involves details on how a building project will address fire safety and compliance with relevant codes and regulations. The contractor is in charge of implementing the construction processes and ensuring that all necessary compliance measures are documented and reported accurately.

While the owner may have a role in initiating the project, the architect is focused more on design elements, and the fire safety official reviews the documentation rather than prepares it. Therefore, it is the contractor’s expertise in construction and regulatory framework that positions them as the primary individual to prepare these essential documents, ensuring that they capture the specifics needed for adherence to fire safety standards and approvals.
