Planning Tool
Fire Protection Project Timeline Estimator
Estimate engineering turnaround and authority review time for fire protection projects in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. Four questions return a two-phase schedule range: engineering and hydraulic calculations, then the expected AHJ filing and plan review cycle. The ranges are general planning figures; every project is different, and the engineer confirms the actual schedule after reviewing the drawings.

General planning range only. Every project is different; the actual schedule is confirmed after an engineer reviews the drawings.
Request an Engineering Proposal for this ScheduleProject timelines represent standard engineering turnaround schedules and historical AHJ review durations across NY, NJ, PA, MD, and DE. Final schedules depend on completeness of base architectural files, existing water supply test data, and jurisdictional review backlogs. This estimate does not constitute a formal engineering contract or schedule guarantee.
How the Estimate Works
The range combines two phases. Phase 1 covers DGA’s engineering work: layout, hydraulic or sequence calculations, specifications, and a sealed submittal package. Phase 2 covers filing with the Authority Having Jurisdiction, the initial plan review, and one typical comment and resubmission cycle.
What Shortens It
Complete architectural backgrounds at kickoff, a current water flow test, and early agreement on the governing code edition.
What Lengthens It
Missing base files, a new flow test or fire pump requirement, utility review of the fire service, and seasonal review backlogs.
What It Is Not
A planning range, not a contract schedule. Every DGA proposal states a written delivery date once the drawings are reviewed.
