We don’t just design sprinkler and fire alarm systems. We design fire protection systems with a total building approach
Systems Design
Koffel Associates’ registered fire protection engineers are hands on with your fire protection systems design needs. We assess. We conceptualize. We render. In short, we design—well.
We don’t just design sprinkler and fire alarm systems. We design fire protection systems with a total building approach—familiarizing ourselves with the whole building, inside and out, to deliver a more cost-effective systems design based on our complete understanding of the building’s overall fire and life safety features and needs.
We are well versed in National CAD Standards (NCS)—and other CAD standards—to produce consistent, high-quality drawings. We produce seamless specifications using SpecsIntact software, MasterSpec format, or our own special in-house specifications that we tailor to meet your project’s needs. Rounding out our project teams are full-time technical support staff, who are formally trained in AutoCAD, MicroStation and Revit design programs, including the Building Information Model (BIM) process.
