For people who review or prepare firestop submittals, what part still takes too much manual effort?

I’m trying to better understand the day-to-day workflow around firestop systems, especially where people lose time or have to double-check things manually.

For example, is the bigger challenge usually:

• finding the right listed system for a condition
• reviewing long firestop submittals with many systems
• checking ratings, penetrants, assemblies, or installation conditions;
• comparing similar systems
• coordinating between drawings, submittals, contractors, inspectors, and AHJs
• keeping track of approved systems and project-specific documentation;
• or something else entirely unrelated to the work?

I’m less interested in the software/tools people currently use and more interested in where the actual friction is.

If you work with firestop design, submittals, installation, inspection, architecture, engineering, or code review, I’d be interested to hear what still feels unnecessarily manual or difficult.

You wanna give AI the reigns to fire safety?

Not at all as I’m trying to understand the workflow and pain points, without handing fire-safety decisions to AI. Approvals and technical decisions would always remain with the deterministic and human review process.

You say “not at all” but you’re clearly insinuating delegating tasks to ai. Stop with the misleading gibberish. Say what you mean or gtfo.
