Efficient, code-appropriate suppression design for apartments, condominiums, and mixed-use residential buildings.

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.
