Installing a Fire Protection System in your existing building is the best option you can take to protect your people, property, and products in the event of a fire. Oliver Fire Protection & Security can develop a Master Plan to help you understand what is involved in having your building retrofitted with a Fire Protection system. Master planning provides an owner with an assessment of the costs and details associated with the installation of Life Safety systems. With the information we provide, you can begin to prepare a budget, develop a schedule with a phased process, determine the scope of work, and identify best practices for installing Fire Sprinkler and Fire Alarm systems within your existing facility. Whether your site is a hospital, nursing/assisted living facilities, commercial building, residential building, industrial facility, educational campuses, or student housing, we’ve got you covered.
Master Planning – What is it?
Our Master Plans provide owners with a comprehensive analysis and recommendations for installing a 100% economical and code-compliant Fire Protection system within your existing building(s). Our teams will arrive on-site to perform an analysis of your building(s) and assess its size, shape, interior layout, and construction types. We will then identify the occupancies, hazard types, strategies for installation, and determine the best and most practical approaches to custom-fit each building with a new Life Safety system.
We include:
- Overview of building occupancy, structure, and layout
- Descriptions of Fire Protection requirements
- Cost Analysis for installation and fabrication
- Scope of work
- Phased planning and timeframes
- Specifications of materials
- Preliminary layout and routing of pipe (review above-ceiling conditions)
- Permitting at the local and state level
Fire Protection Systems are life-saving tools that are worth the investment to protect your people, products, and property. Oliver’s Master Plans will help you clearly identify these processes, requirements, and overall needs for installing your Fire Protection systems. We provide the essential information for you to begin your budgeting and scheduling processes. The costs are soon returned with incentives from your insurance company, tax benefits as well as offering peace of mind to your customers, tenants, and staff that they are protected from the events of an unexpected fire. Let us help you prepare your Fire Protection installation with a Master Plan today.
