Consulting requires an understanding of the fire threat, identifying the vulnerabilities of life, property or business operations, and developing cost effective solutions.

The design of fire protection systems involves in-depth knowledge of applicable codes, experience with using sound engineering principles, and a post design appreciation for operability. A good design is one that produces a cost effective system, well matched for the expected fire that will perform reliably and effectively during the fire event.

Examples of consulting services include: water supply testing and analysis, fire hazard analysis, code analysis, life safety analysis, fire modeling, egress modeling, analysis of existing fire protection system design and performance, and commissioning of new fire protection systems.
