FAQ
1. What do you need from me to start the design?
To ensure accuracy, I will need the architectural floor plans of your building (preferably in AutoCAD .DWG format). I will also need to know the type of building (use-group), the local jurisdiction/city, and if you have any specific fire alarm panel brands you prefer to use.
2. Are your designs compliant with local building codes?
Yes. All designs are strictly based on NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) standards and standard International Building Code (IBC) guidelines. I ensure the device spacing, candela ratings, and calculations meet the criteria required by local fire marshals for AHJ approval.
3. Do you provide the source files so my contractor can edit them if needed?
Yes! I provide the final deliverables in both high-resolution, ready-to-print PDF format and the fully layered AutoCAD (.DWG) source file so you or your contractors have complete ownership of the design.
4. My project is larger than 10,000 sq ft. Can you handle it?
Absolutely. I can handle complex industrial facilities, multi-story buildings, and large commercial centers. Please message me directly with your project details and I will create a custom, tailored offer for your specific scope.
