When it applies
When fire protection engineering design applies
When you need it
- New construction and ground-up developments requiring a complete fire protection scope.
- Tenant fit-outs and renovations with new or modified fire protection systems.
- Projects with multiple fire protection trades that need coordinated design under one engineer.
- Projects taken over mid-design that need gap identification, completion, and stamping.
