Design review cycles
A drawing that comes back marked up twice costs weeks. Getting it right first time is the whole game.

Contractors and Consultants
We work with EPC contractors and project management consultants to design, supply, install and commission fire systems to the specification — and to hand them over on the date in the programme.
Industry overview
Working With EPC Contractors and PMCs
On a construction project the fire system is rarely the thing holding up handover — until it is. Commissioning sits at the end of the programme, it depends on power, ceilings and other trades being finished, and it is what the fire authority looks at before anyone gets an occupancy certificate.
So what a contractor or PMC actually needs from a fire systems subcontractor is not a lower price. It is a design that passes review first time, drawings that coordinate with the MEP services rather than clashing with them, equipment that arrives when it is supposed to, and commissioning that finishes.
We work on commercial towers, industrial and warehouse builds, hospitality projects, data centres, residential high-rise and plant and utility buildings — as the fire systems package within a larger contract.
- Design that passes review Drawings and calculations put up for consultant and client review, with changes carried through properly.
- Coordinated with the other trades Our routes agreed against the MEP services rather than discovered on site.
- One package, one accountable party Supply, installation, commissioning and handover from us, not split across three suppliers.
- Documentation for the fire NOC The drawings, test records and certificates the authority asks for, ready when you need them.
Risk profile
Key Project and Programme Considerations
The six points that most often put fire systems on the critical path.
Clashes with MEP services
Pipework and containment routed without coordination gets found on site, and then something has to move.
Commissioning at the end
Fire systems are commissioned when everything else is done, which is exactly when there is no float left.
The fire NOC
The authority looks at the installed system and the paperwork. Missing records hold up occupancy, not just handover.
Specification substitutions
Equipment swapped for something cheaper mid-project tends to fail review or fail to integrate.
Snagging that stays open
A punch list that drags on after handover is usually a commissioning problem that was never finished properly.

Project Types We Support
The fire systems package, within a larger contract.
Commercial towers
Addressable alarm and sprinklers across the building, with gas suppression for the server and plant rooms.
Industrial and warehouse builds
Beam detection for the height, with sprinkler protection designed against the intended storage rather than the floor area.
Hospitality projects
Alarm, detection and evacuation across guest floors, with kitchen and back-of-house protection.
Data centres
Air-sampling detection and clean-agent suppression, commissioned and proved before the hardware arrives.
Residential high-rise
Detection, alarm and sprinklers through the floors, risers and basements, to the approved drawings.
Plant and utility buildings
Panel protection, gas detection and suppression sized to the equipment going in.
Our expertise
Our Role in the Project Team
The parts of a fire systems package that need the most care on a live project.
Drawings built for review
Layouts, zone plans and calculations prepared to go in front of a consultant, with comments carried through and reissued.
Coordination before site
Our routes agreed against the MEP model, so clashes are resolved on paper rather than with a hammer.
Equipment we can answer for
Supplied from manufacturers we are partnered with, so specification compliance and lead times are not a guess.
Installation by our own teams
Not sublet on, which is why the person commissioning it is the person who put it in.
Commissioning that finishes
Device by device, with cause-and-effect proved and the punch list closed rather than carried.
Handover documentation
Drawings, test records and certificates in the form the authority and the client both need.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions contractors and consultants ask us first.
Still have a question?
Speak directly with one of our fire safety engineers.
Call +91 88795 33000Will you work to our specification?
Yes. On most projects the specification comes from the consultant and we deliver to it. Where we think something in it will cause a problem on site we say so in writing early, with the reasoning, rather than building it and raising it later.
Can you provide design drawings for consultant review?
Yes. Layouts, zone plans, cause-and-effect and calculations, prepared for review and reissued as comments come back.
Do you handle the fire NOC documentation?
We produce the drawings, test records and certificates for the systems we install, in the form the authority asks for. The NOC application itself sits with the owner or the PMC, and we support it.
Who does the installation?
Our own teams. We do not sublet the installation on, which is why the people commissioning the system are the people who installed it.
Can you install while we keep operating?
Usually, yes. The work is phased around your hours, area by area. If a short shutdown is genuinely unavoidable we tell you at design stage so you can plan for it, rather than you finding out on the day.
Can we extend what we already have instead of replacing it?
Often you can. It depends on the panel you have, whether it has spare capacity and whether the equipment is still supported by its manufacturer. We check that on site before we propose anything, and we will say plainly if extending it is the wrong call.
What does a site assessment involve?
An engineer comes out, walks the site with you and looks at each area. You get a written view of where the gaps are and what we would recommend, with the reasoning behind it. There is no charge and no obligation.
