The biggest risk with a 2D fire protection layout is having code violations hiding in plain sight. It can be something simple. A sprinkler head drawn just a few inches too close to a structural beam creates a coverage gap, and that’s a direct NFPA 13 violation that compromises the whole life safety system.
When an Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) finds these gaps, it means delayed occupancy permits and rework. Our fire protection system design services use a tried and tested BIM workflow to fix these code compliance and coordination problems right in the model, making sure the design is 100% compliant.
We provide fully coordinated fire protection modeling in Revit, covering all 3 pillars of fire safety. For suppression, we provide NFPA 13-compliant fire sprinkler design services, complete with hydraulic calculations and pipe routes. When it comes to detection, our fire alarm design services map out the exact placement for every smoke detector and pull station according to NFPA 72. And for evacuation, we make sure the overall life safety design complies with NFPA 101. From this validated model, we generate the fire sprinkler drawings your crew needs for prefabrication and installation.
We run every model through Navisworks for multitrade clash detection against the architectural, structural and MEP designs. We also audit the entire design against all relevant codes—NFPA 13, 72, 101 and the IBC. This coordinated design build fire protection model is what makes sure you get foolproof compliance. That’s how your fire protection contractors can prefabricate with confidence, get a clean install and pass the final AHJ inspection the first time. No red tags.

Talk with our team →Residential
We design fire systems and placements to secure property and practical rapid evacuation paths.
Commercial
We create fire safety layouts for malls and offices to mitigate fire damage and ensure safe egress for high occupancy buildings.
Industrial
We create robust fire system designs for high risk industrial sites that require specialized suppression and control systems.
Healthcare
We design mission critical fire protection systems for patient and staff safety, including sprinklers, alarms and smoke control systems.
Educational
We ensure correct design for placement of fire protection equipment for secure learning environments and emergency evacuations.
From concept to completion our expert BIM solutions optimize your design and construction projects.
Our designs take into account instant detection, immediate suppression and unobstructed evacuation routes validated against NFPA codes. They minimize fire spread and damage while prioritizing occupant safety.
For optimal performance we recommend auditing fire systems every 3 to 6 months. Key components like sprinklers, alarms, and pumps should be tested annually per NFPA guidelines.
Yes, we can definitely upgrade older structures with modern fire detection and suppression equipment. Our team designs modifications that integrate with your existing layout and structure while making sure you meet current codes.
Our designs can integrate smart sensors for real-time heat and smoke detection. Designed placement of automated alerts provide building personnel with faster response times, system control and occupant safety.
Yes. We integrate national (NFPA, IBC) and local fire safety codes directly into our design process. We audit all plans for compliance to make sure they pass inspections.
Our BIM process generates an accurate bill of materials, which eliminates waste. By resolving clashes in the design phase, we prevent costly on site rework and change orders, delivering a safe system right on budget.
Outsourcing gives you access to a dedicated team of specialists and advanced software without the high overhead costs of in house hiring, training and licensing. This lets your team focus on core project management activities.
You can outsource hydrant network design, clean agent systems, fire alarm design, and sprinkler drawings. The scope can include hydraulic calculations, equipment sizing, and code-compliant documentation.
Yes. All our projects are governed by NDAs. We use secure, encrypted file transfer protocols with role based access to make sure your data stays confidential.
Our designers follow local and international codes including IBC, IFC, and NFPA. Our QC process includes peer reviews, code checks, and cross-trade coordination to meet authority requirements.
Outsourcing eliminates the need to hire and train specialized staff or purchase expensive software licenses. It also reduces project costs by preventing design errors and on-site rework.
Yes. Our design packages are structured so they can be reviewed, sealed and stamped by licensed engineers. This makes sure the documentation is ready for submission to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Our dedicated teams and proven workflows allow us to deliver high-quality results within planned timelines, often accelerating review and submission cycles compared to in-house teams.
