Code Consulting for Architects:
Fire Protection Design Services
Code Source PC provides fire protection design and drafting services to produce fire protection design/construction documents. The coordination we provide between the building code and the fire protection provisions assures that the scoping requirements of the building code as it relates to the many design facets and code requirement trade-offs are coordinated with the fire protection requirements of the NFPA codes and standards. Frequently, the design firm does not provide for the proper fire protection scoping within the bidding documents. The results can be costly later after the award of the construction contract when additional fire protection systems/components must be provided. Also, if the fire protection system is designed after the production of the construction documents, savings in the building design through fire protection trade-offs may not be realized. In conclusion, the construction documents should include the proper fire protection design instead of relying on later "fire protection shop drawings", when it may be too late to achieve cost competitive facility changes.
