Sprinkler design that clears review the first time
We produce hydraulically calculated layouts, stamped shop drawings, and coordinated BIM models for architects, engineers, and general contractors. Fewer AHJ comments, fewer field conflicts, a system you can build to.
Bring us in early and the rework goes away
Most of the money lost on a sprinkler package is spent solving problems that a good design would have caught on the screen. A main routed through a beam. Heads that fight the ductwork. A remote area that never actually gets the density the hazard demands. By the time those show up in the field, they cost real hours and real change orders.
We design commercial and industrial systems in CAD and Revit, run the hydraulics against your available water supply, and coordinate our model with the other trades before anyone hangs pipe. When the drawings go to the authority having jurisdiction, they go in complete: plans, calcs, cut sheets, and a system that matches the building you are actually putting up.
From architectural set to permit-ready drawings
A clear path from your building plans to a submittal an AHJ will approve.
Review the architecture and the hazard
We start with your architectural and structural set, confirm the occupancy and commodity classification, and settle the design basis: wet, dry, pre-action, or a combination, and the density the hazard requires under NFPA 13.
Flow test and hydraulic calculations
We work from a current flow test or the water supply data for the site, then size mains and branch lines with hydraulic calculations so the remote area gets its required density without over-building the system.
Model and coordinate with the trades
Our layout goes into a BIM model and gets checked against structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing so clashes are resolved on screen. On design-assist jobs we join the coordination meetings and clash-detection reviews directly.
Shop drawings and submittals
You get stamped shop drawings, device cut sheets, and the calculation package assembled for the AHJ and the fire marshal, ready for permit.
Support through construction
We answer RFIs, issue revisions when the design changes in the field, and produce clean record drawings at closeout so the next contractor inherits an accurate set.
What architects and GCs ask us
Common questions when we join a project at the design stage.
Do you work in Revit or only AutoCAD?
Both. We produce 2D layouts in AutoCAD and full sprinkler models in Revit, and we can share models in the format your BIM coordinator is running so our pipe lives in the federated model with everyone else's.
Can you design from a flow test, or do you need one first?
If a recent flow test exists we design from it. If not, we can arrange one or work from the water authority's supply data to establish the design basis, then confirm with a test before the calcs are finalized.
Will you handle the permit submittal to the AHJ?
Yes. We assemble the plans, hydraulic calculations, and cut sheets, submit to the authority having jurisdiction, and work through any plan-review comments until the package is approved.
Do you offer design-assist on early-stage projects?
We do. Bringing us in during design development lets us flag routing and coordination issues while they are still cheap to fix, which is where design-assist pays for itself.
Do you design protection for data halls and other special hazard rooms?
Yes. Server rooms, electrical rooms, and process areas often need something other than a standard wet system, such as pre-action sprinklers or a hybrid system. See our special hazards page for how we plan those spaces, including Victaulic Vortex projects.
Have a set of plans to price?
Send us the architectural drawings and the hazard, and we will scope the sprinkler design and BIM coordination. We respond within one business day.
