What does a fire NOC consultant do?

A consultant works out which fire approvals your building needs under your state's law, prepares the fire drawings and documents, files them on the official portal, prepares the building for inspection and follows up until the certificate is issued. Flamekite also tracks your renewals.

Can a consultant guarantee my fire NOC?

No. The state fire service decides every application. A good consultant makes sure the file is complete and correct for your state's rules, which removes the most common causes of delay.

How much does a fire NOC consultant charge?

Flamekite quotes its fee in writing by building, stage and state before any work starts. The statutory fee is separate and goes to the state: Rs 10 per m² in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, nothing on Uttar Pradesh's portal.

Do you work in my state?

The free check covers all 36 states and UTs, because Flamekite reads every state's fire law. Filing and site work are arranged through licensed partners in your state.

Use the free fire NOC check: tell us your state, building and stage on WhatsApp, and we reply with what you need, the fee, the documents and the timeline.
