Fire Sprinkler Design
Our team of experienced professionals ensures that your building is equipped with a sprinkler system that meets all necessary codes and regulations while being tailored to your specific needs. Our design process begins with our designers creating detailed drawings using Computer Aided Design (CAD) based platforms, to represent the fire sprinkler system in your building. We take into account all relevant codes and submit the designs to the city or municipality for review and approval.
When designs have been approved, we upload your plans into 3D modeling platforms to produce detailed views, identify conflicts with any other building systems, and allow our clients to see their systems long before install.
We understand that every project is unique, and that’s why we obtain hydraulic calculations which prove the sprinkler system will extinguish any fire in your building. Whether you have an office building, industrial facility, school, healthcare building or otherwise, we can design a system that meets your specific requirements and needs.
