How we work  ·  From architectural set to installed system

The system is finished
before it ships.

We engineer the fire alarm system, then organize, address, label, program, and pre-test every device on a rack in our shop. What reaches your site is a kit your crew installs.

01  ·  Engineering
First,we engineer it.

You send the architectural set and the scope. Our engineer of record designs the fire alarm system, seals the drawings, and schedules every device—each with an ID, a floor, and a circuit.

02  ·  The floor
The floor is notthe jobsite.

A controlled production floor. Clean power, a bench, and room to work—none of which exists above a ceiling.

03  ·  Populated
Every device,in its place.

Each device seats into a position assigned from the device list, by floor, circuit, and installation sequence.

04  ·  Addressed and labeled
Addressed.Labeled.

Every label carries the device ID from our sealed drawings, so trim-out follows the plan instead of a search.

05  ·  Programmed
Programmed here,not there.

The panel arrives with its programming and cause-and-effect already written to the sealed design. Nobody programs a panel on the jobsite.

06  ·  Pre-tested
Verified beforeit ships.

Every device is checked on the bench against its address, label, and programming. Field wiring is still tested on site. The pre-test shortens acceptance; it does not replace it.

07  ·  The pre-test report
A pre-test reporttravels with it.

Device-by-device verification that gives field acceptance a head start. The NFPA 72 record of completion is still completed after installation.

08  ·  Into kits
From drawings toa tested kit.

Devices leave the rack in floor- and circuit-specific kits, packed in installation sequence and keyed to the drawings.

09  ·  The jobsite
Built OFFSITE.Ready for the field.

A kit opens, a device goes up, the crew terminates.

On site  ·  What changes for your crew

Your crew does the work only a jobsite can do.

Your crew still
  • Pulls wire.
  • Mounts devices.
  • Terminates.
  • Runs field acceptance with the AHJ.
Your crew no longer
  • Sorts boxes by floor.
  • Addresses devices on a ladder.
  • Writes labels in the field.
  • Programs the panel on site.
Trim-out follows the labels. Acceptance starts from a system that was already pre-tested.
Send us the architectural set. We engineer and quote it.
