Design Process

Find the proper jurisdicition and look up fire code amendments.

Layout the system to meet those amendments and the code(s) related.

Plan the wire paths, then layout the wiring paths as planned.

Add all notes from fire code and AHJ amendments to the design for the installation technicians.

Calculations will then be inserted into the drawings. This includes battery calculations, voltage drops and Average Ambient sound pressure (when necessary) (as stated in NFPA 72 A.18.4.3)and verify that per NFPA 72 the design has sufficient audio coverage and Watts calculations when the system is a voice evacuation system.

Drawing will then be double checked, device to device. Calculations will be verified at this time. Riser diagram then gets built, and this becomes the third check. We can save time and money by emailing you a pdf of your floor plans.

Specifications

We can handle specifications if needed. Send us the electronic security section of the bid specifications along with engineer drawings, and we can look through them to make sure the fire alarm system is laid out as the architect and engineer require, (so long as the plen is 100% to code) and we can give you the most correct plans you can submit.

With engineer drawings we can design in the spots the engineer has signified, then move and adjust when necessary to meet code.

Send the specification documents and we can read them thouroughly to confirm parts are correct or any other requirement noted isn't missed.

Fire Marshal Amendments

We have a pdf library of of AHJ amendments from Laredo to Lubbock. Their requirements will be included in the drawings. The jurisdiction will be noted on the plans also, which helps the techs when they are filling in their FML-009.

Some fire marshals wants small changes to IFC (usually the Group A and E buildings) and others have their own fire code, City of Houston and Dallas for example.

Whether the amendments just want smoke detectors in all hallways, or pull stations at every exit (regardless of sprinkler situation), or class-A SLC, we will find the changes.

Commercial Build-out

Build-outs and large new installs

If you have a small job call us, we can design the "add to existing" fire alarm and get the drawings back to you right away. If you have a large complex with multiple multi-story buildings, we design those too.

Sprinkler monitoring jobs - 2 monitor module, outdoor horn strobe, fire alarm control panel, a required pull station, a single smoke detector and 40 feet of cable- No problem, we design these too.

Buildout jobs - typically a group B and requires a small amount of notification devices and sometimes requires information about the existing devices. we can calculate the additions.

Large site new installations - If each building needs to be permitted separately, we can coordinate this life safety system. We've been doing this particular job for the same amount of time we've designed the small build-outs.
