For sprinkler contractors and design firms who don’t want to tie up a designer on a twelve-head suite.
NICET Level III - Water-Based Systems Layout
Posted pricing: $200.00 + 2¢ a sq ft of scope area. No quote call.
Most small TIs don’t need calculations or fabrication. The hazard isn’t changing, the density isn’t changing, and the city just wants to see the layout. But the set still has to be drawn, noted and stamped, and that still takes a designer at least half a day.
We do that half-day for you, so your designer can focus on higher value work.
Priced on the area of work, so you know the number before you send anything.
$200.00 + 2¢ a sq ft
A 2,000 sq ft suite is $240.00. A 6,000 sq ft build-out is $320.00.
Every job includes:
Full permit set, drawn over your reflected ceiling planExisting system shown as surveyed, marked remain / remove / newSprinkler schedule and cut sheets, on the sheet and as a separate PDFPlan notes, legend, details, title blockThree business days, start to finishOne round of revisions if the city comes back with commentsAdd on:
Nothing else gets added later. The number you see when you send the job is the number you are charged.
Card or bank account on file before we start. Nothing is charged until the set is delivered.
Send the plan and the scope
Reflected ceiling plan, the suite address, and a sentence about what’s changing. PDF is fine. A phone photo of a marked-up sheet is fine. Then a card on file, which charges nothing.
Get us the existing conditions
Attach the as-builts, a survey you marked up, or photos of the ceiling grid straight off your phone — PDF or pictures, as many as you like. Or we send someone out and quote you for it.
We send back a permit-ready set
Three business days, with a NICET stamp. One round of revisions included if the city comes back. That is when the card on file is charged — not before.
Sample sets are being put together — real sets with the names removed. Ask for one and we will send it straight back.
We revise and resubmit at no charge. One round is included on every job, and in practice that covers almost everything.
If we stamp it, we are, and we stand behind the design. If you’d rather carry it under your own designer, we’ll send the set unstamped at the same price and your designer seals it.
The reflected ceiling plan as a PDF, the address, what’s changing, and accurate existing conditions. Those last ones can be anything we can open — as-builts, a marked-up survey, photos of the grid and the riser taken on your phone. Attach them to the same form. That’s it.
The design is only as good as the field information. If something was measured wrong we’ll correct the set, and we’ll charge for the redraw only if it’s a full relayout. If you’d rather not own that risk, have us do the survey.
No. We draw plans. We don’t bid, install or service systems, and we don’t contact your customer.
Not right now. We do tenant improvements where the hazard classification and design density aren’t increasing, which is most small TI work. If your job needs hydraulic calculations we’ll tell you up front instead of wasting your week.
You put a card or bank account on file when you start the job — it takes a minute and it charges nothing. We draw the set, we deliver it, and that is when the posted price goes on it. Never before. If something is wrong with the set we sort that out first; the sheet is yours to download either way.
You will have the price before you send it and the set three days later. Nothing is charged until it lands.
