2 systems we design3 codes & standards
Overview
Multifamily and residential buildings reward efficient, code-appropriate design — the right system selection under NFPA 13 or 13R can materially affect both safety and construction cost.
Concealed combustible spaces, podium transitions, exterior balconies, and mid-rise standpipe requirements all shape the design, alongside the need to keep tenants in place.
Key considerations
NFPA 13 vs. 13R system selection by building height and construction. Concealed spaces, combustible construction, and podium/type transitions. Balconies, exterior spaces, and attached parking. Means of egress and standpipe coordination in mid- and high-rise. Tenant continuity and phased occupancy.
