Fire Suppression System Consulting

Expert Services

Accurately matching a suppression system to a building’s hazards is critical for life safety, asset protection, and insurance compliance. FireAlarm.com’s consulting service provides impartial, code-based guidance grounded in NFPA 13, 15, 750, 2001, the International Building and Fire Codes to help owners and design teams select, verify, or improve suppression systems.

Our specialists analyze commodity classifications, water-supply capabilities, hydraulic demands, and special-hazard requirements. We review design documents, perform field assessments, and model discharge performance to identify compliance gaps, unnecessary cost drivers, or opportunities for performance-based alternatives. Where prescriptive rules limit architectural or operational objectives, we develop equivalency or variance packages and coordinate directly with authorities-having-jurisdiction(AHJs) and insurers for timely approvals.

Engaging FireAlarm.com early in a new build, retrofit, or insurance audit reduces change orders, improves bidding accuracy, and ensures the installed system delivers its promised protection for years to come. To request a peer review, compliance audit, or upgrade roadmap, contact us or email [email protected] and get connected with our licensed engineers.
