Project Management & Code Consulting
Expert Guidance From Planning Through Construction
Successful fire protection projects require more than a well-designed system. They require careful planning, communication, coordination, and an understanding of how fire protection requirements impact the overall construction process.
PFPD works alongside owners, contractors, architects, engineers, and project teams to provide knowledgeable support at every stage.
Our goal is to help identify potential issues early, maintain clear communication, and keep projects moving forward.
Support for Every Type of Project
Whether you're starting from the ground up or modifying an existing facility, PFPD provides project support tailored to the specific challenges of the job.
New Construction
Early planning, code guidance, and ongoing coordination to help integrate fire protection requirements throughout the project.
Renovations & Retrofits
Support navigating existing conditions, system modifications, building constraints, and applicable fire protection requirements.
Design-Build Projects
Integrated design and project support focused on communication, constructability, coordination, and efficient project delivery.
From Plans to the Field
By combining fire protection design knowledge, code expertise, BIM coordination, and construction support, PFPD can help identify challenges before they become costly field issues.
The result is better communication, stronger coordination, and fire protection solutions that are developed with real-world construction in mind.
Plan with confidence. Coordinate with precision. Build with fewer surprises.
Types of Sprinkler Systems We Design
Customized, code-compliant designs for a wide range of buildings, environments, and fire hazards.
Wet Pipe Systems
Wet pipe systems keep pressurized water within the piping for immediate discharge when a sprinkler activates. We develop coordinated designs that provide dependable coverage for everyday commercial and residential applications.
Ideal for: Offices, retail spaces, apartments and hotels
Dry Pipe Systems
Dry pipe systems use pressurized air or nitrogen instead of water within the piping. Our designs help protect areas exposed to freezing temperatures while ensuring water is delivered when a sprinkler activates.
Ideal for: Parking garages, cold-storage facilities and loading docks
Preaction Systems
Preaction systems require a separate detection event before water enters the sprinkler piping, providing additional protection against accidental discharge. We design and coordinate these systems for sensitive or high-value environments.
Ideal for: Data centers, museums, libraries and archives
Residential Systems
We design NFPA 13D and NFPA 13R sprinkler systems for homes, townhouses, apartments, and other residential properties. Each system is planned around the building’s layout, occupancy, and applicable code requirements.
Ideal for: Single-family homes, townhouses and apartment buildings
Antifreeze Systems
Antifreeze sprinkler systems use an approved solution within piping located in areas subject to freezing. We design these systems to provide reliable fire protection while reducing the risk of frozen or damaged pipes.
