All Jurisdictions Showing the selected jurisdiction only.
Project Requirement Finder
Search a system, device, calculation or code requirement. The file now separates quantitative authority criteria from standard-controlled design values, and shows where devices are required, what must be calculated, what must be submitted, and what must be tested. UAE, New Zealand and Australia remain separate regulatory pathways so local rules are not mixed.
Engineering control: This file is a structured working reference, not a substitute for the latest authority publication, project specification, NOC condition, approved drawing or written authority direction. Where documents conflict, the applicable authority/project requirement shall govern.

Select a jurisdiction from the sidebar to return to its requirements. This page lists the principal authority sources used by the reference.
Virtual Compliance Pathway
Use this as a visual project workflow. The moving indicator represents the project information passing through each compliance gate.
1. JurisdictionCountry, emirate, state, territory, utility, municipality, building consent authority or Civil Defence.
2. Code BasisIdentify the legally adopted code, regulations, standards, amendments and project specifications.
3. DesignLoad, protection, fire strategy, egress, calculations, coordination and system interfaces.
NZ Building Code C clauses + C/AS pathways / C/VM2

A-Z Engineering System Library
Choose a subject below. The search engine will immediately show the related authority requirements, quantitative criteria, design checks, calculations, site checks and T&C requirements.
Engineering Calculators
These are preliminary engineering checks only. Final calculations must use the governing standard, manufacturer data, installation conditions, approved fault level and project design criteria.
3-Phase Current
Enter values and calculate.
3-Phase kVA / kW Check
Enter values and calculate.
Simplified 3-Phase Voltage Drop
Use the mV/A/m value from the applicable cable table or manufacturer data.
Emergency Battery Capacity Estimate
Preliminary estimate only. Final sizing must include battery technology, inverter efficiency, ageing, temperature, discharge characteristics and the governing code.
Emergency Luminaire Quantity - Preliminary
Enter the maximum spacing obtained from the approved photometric/manufacturer spacing table. This calculator does not create a code spacing limit.
Fire Alarm Battery Ah
Use the standby/alarm duration required by the actual authority and project.
Fire Water Tank Usable Volume
The applicable fire-flow and duration must come from the approved fire strategy/hydraulic design.
Fire Pump Pressure / Head
Preliminary hydraulic head check only. Final pump duty must be obtained from a full hydraulic calculation.
Manual Call Point Route Quantity
Route geometry and exit placement govern the final quantity.
Point Detector Area Estimate
Area division is only a first estimate. Final detector layout must satisfy corner distance, ceiling geometry, airflow, beams and detector listing.
Generator Load Estimate
Final generator sizing requires motor-starting/transient study, load steps, harmonics, ambient/altitude derating and manufacturer data.
DesignEstablish code basis and design criteria.
CalculationRecord inputs, factors and assumptions.
ReviewCheck against authority and project limits.
InstallationConfirm actual materials and routes.
TestingUse measured values and calibrated instruments.
HandoverUpdate calculations to as-built condition where required.

Practical engineering example
Select the project jurisdiction first. Identify the authority and adopted standards, then check project specifications before applying a requirement from another region.
Developed by Eng. Mannan Maqsood. Verify design outputs against current project requirements and the applicable authority and manufacturer data.
