Challenges we solve
Where fire protection trades need support
The problems sprinkler and alarm contractors face, and how we help.
| Challenge | How we help | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Heads clash with ceilings and lights | Heads coordinated with ceiling layouts | Clean, compliant ceilings |
| Late changes from other trades | Models updated quickly | Approvals stay on track |
| Manual pipe spooling | Spools and cut lists from the model | Faster fabrication |
| Approval drawing backlog | Layouts prepared to your standards | Submissions go in sooner |
What we deliver
Fire systems coordinated early
Sprinkler mains run through the busiest part of the ceiling void, and every head has to line up with ceiling grids, lights and diffusers. Leave coordination too late and you're redrawing layouts after the ceiling contractor has started.
We draft and model sprinkler and fire alarm systems from your design data, coordinate them with the other services and the ceiling layout, and prepare approval drawings, spools and cut lists.
We work to the standards and approval requirements you give us, for offices, healthcare, education, warehouses and residential towers.
What we need from you
- Design layouts or hydraulic data
- Ceiling and architectural plans
- Other trade models
- Symbol library and standards

FAQs
Fire protection contractor questions
Quick answers about design, hydraulics, software and coordination for fire protection contractors.
No. Hydraulic design stays with your engineers. We draft and model their design accurately.
Yes: layouts, spool drawings and cut lists from the coordinated model.
Yes. Head positions are coordinated with ceiling grids, lights and diffusers.
The ones your engineers specify, such as NFPA or local codes, using the design data they provide.
Yes, with ducts, pipes, trays and structure before anything is released.
Yes: detectors, devices and cabling layouts.
Yes. A single floor is a good first package.
Files are shared only with the people working on your project, through secure transfer or your own platform. We sign NDAs on request and never reuse your drawings, models or data on other work.
Use whatever suits you: email, a file-sharing link or your own common data environment. Within a working day of receiving the package, we send a short list of questions so nothing is left to guesswork.
