Schnackel Engineers’ fire and life safety design services are custom tailored to fit your design objectives and budget. Our fire sprinkler design services range from simple performance specifications, for a design-build contracting arrangement, to fully engineered, hydraulically calculated designs ready for permit submittal and construction. Similarly, fire alarm system design services can range from design-build to completely engineered designs, including voltage drop, battery calculations, etc. or anything in between.
Our experienced, NICET certified project managers, engineers and designers work closely with you and the rest of the design team to establish all of the performance requirements and expectations of the fire and life safety systems. Our team utilizes their many years of industry expertise coupled with the latest design technologies to find the best solution for every project. We keep the humans focused on the aesthetics and functionality of the space, all for a better outcome of the project and reduced risk.
For existing buildings, each project kicks off with one of a range of pre-design site survey options, from traditional site surveys to advanced LiDAR scans that gather highly precise site information that can be imported directly into your design models and used to achieve maximum reuse of the viable existing systems.
We apply a wide range of advanced technologies toward helping our clients find the right design solutions for their specific project needs. By automating and optimizing this process, we can deliver more rapid results, lower costs and reduce the risk of errors – saving clients time and money over traditional engineering methods.
Having successfully completed thousands of fire protection designs using our advanced technology for a wide range of project sizes and types, from single tenant spaces to multi-million square foot mixed use developments, we bring comprehensive experience to every design challenge.
At every turn, Schnackel Engineers is committed to delivering high-quality fire protection design services that keep projects on track and under budget, mitigating your risks every step of the way.
