Complete NAC device layout with pathways shown
System architecture planning
Riser and wiring diagrams
Panel and network design
Equipment schedules submittals
Battery Calculations
Voltage drop calculations
Sequence of operation showing input/output functions
Complete fire alarm shop drawings

These designs help contractors prepare accurate installation plans and system submittals.

Fire Alarm Shop Drawings

We provide detailed fire alarm shop drawings that support project pricing, installation, and coordination.

Our shop drawing packages typically include:

device layout drawings
fire alarm riser diagrams
battery calculations
voltage drop calculations
conduit routing concepts
equipment schedules

These documents help contractors streamline installation and ensure the fire alarm system is properly planned before construction begins.

VESDA / Aspirating Smoke Detection Design

We design VESDA aspirating smoke detection systems for environments that require very early fire detection.

VESDA systems are commonly used in:

data centers
telecommunications rooms
electrical infrastructure spaces
mission-critical facilities
clean rooms and laboratories

Our VESDA design services include:

aspirating detector placement
pipe network layout
sampling point design
coverage planning

We support VESDA system layouts that integrate with Notifier fire alarm systems and other building life safety systems.

Sprinkler System Design Support

Our team also provides sprinkler system layout support for fire protection contractors and project teams.

Services include layouts for:

wet sprinkler systems
dry sprinkler systems
pre-action systems
deluge systems

These layouts support project coordination and contractor planning during installation.

BIM Modeling & Fire Protection Coordination

We provide BIM modeling and fire protection coordination to support modern construction projects.

Using platforms such as Revit and AutoCAD, we help coordinate fire protection systems with other building trades.

Services include:

fire alarm system BIM modeling
sprinkler system modeling
conduit routing layouts
clash detection support
installation coordination drawings

This helps contractors identify conflicts before installation and improve project efficiency.
