Drawings are good I agree. But what if the client has none suitable that you may use? Its simple to draw small buildings where the plans are probably unncessary anyway!

They are of much greater value in complex large buildings but if the RP does not have any or they are inaccurate it is unrealistic to expect a fire risk assessor to commission them from scratch. Plus it hugely slows down the whole process and probably triples the cost if you outsource it.

I have found, thus far, that architects who may have been involved in the building at some stage and had put a plan together have been very accommodating regarding the provision of said plans, for free. Very useful.

Personally I always do a plan, annotated as per the old cert drawings- it tells the I/O I'm no Rodney ::)

I always ask for plans where possible and on simple ones without will hand sketch for reference. makes the survey far easier as I mark up the plans using the old symbols.

Even if they don't get formally drawn up they are always scanned and archived for reference.
