We design fire protection systems for buildings of all sizes and uses, including hotels, healthcare facilities, warehouses, office complexes, retail centers, and manufacturing plants.
The foundation of any effective fire protection system design is compliance. Our team reviews your building plans, occupancy classification, and usage to determine which systems are required by local Fire Code and national standards like NFPA, IFC, and IBC.
- Identify required fire protection systems
- Plan for future code changes or tenant needs
- Understand AHJ documentation and approval processes
- Coordinate with other trades on system layout and integration
We act as a partner throughout the process, ensuring the systems you install not only meet code but function effectively for your specific property.
Precision is critical when designing complex fire protection systems. That’s why FPI includes CAD drafting and engineering support in every design project. Our in-house team produces detailed system layouts that are ready for construction submittal and AHJ review.
