Multi-family apartment block
Project-specific BIM modeling and coordination support for a multi-family residential development.
View case studySprinkler layouts, fire alarm drawings, coordinated models and shop drawings that help fire protection contractors get approvals sooner and install without clashes.
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 |
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
Mains, branches and heads on plan.
Pipework modeled for coordination and fabrication.
Detectors, call points and devices.
Heads aligned with ceilings, lights and diffusers.
Clashes resolved with ducts, pipes and trays.
Drawings prepared for authority submissions.
Pipe spools and cut lists for fabrication.
Final layouts updated from site.
Our engineers understand coverage, spacing and coordination, so drawings are ready for review and for installation. Every project starts with a written quotation, a named point of contact and a firm delivery date, and you can begin with a small trial task.
Templates, title blocks, families and naming are set up before any work starts.
A separate reviewer checks every set against your brief and markups before delivery.
Shifts overlap US and UK working hours for calls, reviews and quick turnarounds.
Add capacity for a deadline and scale back when it passes, without hiring.
NDAs on request, controlled access and secure transfer for every project file.
Start with a small live task to check quality and communication before committing.

Send the scope and programme. We'll reply with a quotation and a firm delivery date within one working day.
What happens next
Fire protection support for offices, hospitals, schools, hotels, warehouses and residential towers.
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.
