Fire Protection Contractor for Los Angeles, California Properties
Los Angeles has established more stringent sprinklers regulations than those of the state, and property owners are continuously caught off guard. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) has its local amendments to the city fire code, which include the incorporation of sprinklers for new construction of large buildings, and offers special provisions for high-rise buildings. As a fire protection contractor who works throughout Los Angeles, we build to the city code, not the generic one. The LAFD plan check has its unique submittal requirements and its own review order. Drawings that pass a suburban plan check can be red-lined in the downtown area. We detail every plan set for this jurisdiction. A generic set of plans is a huge waste of your time in the review process.

Fire Protection Solutions That Work With the Los Angeles Fire Department Code Requirements
The Los Angeles City requirements are in addition to the California Fire Code, not side by side. Local amendments re-define the requirements and regulations for high-rises. Property owners that are budgeting based on the state minimums get surprises at the plan check. We verify the most up to date city requirements for your location before we draw anything.

Designing to City Code, Not Generic Code
Most rejected submittals fail on local amendments that no one bothered to check. The hydraulics are fine. The head spacing is fine. The package fails to meet a city specific provision. We check those at the start of the design, which is the reason our drawings are clear. Every comment cycle adds weeks to your project and adds billable hours to your engineering. Getting it right the first time is always less than getting it corrected a second time. We monitor the city’s requirements since they change, and a stale assumption on thresholds gets very expensive. LAFD does publish their local amendments, but they are easily missed when you design off of state code and assume that’s the rest of it.
Our Vision
Every building in Los Angeles meets code.
Our Mission
Design to city standards, clear plan check.

FAQ
Your Questions, Our Solutions
Yes, in some cases. The city builds upon the state requirements with additional local fire code amendments, including thresholds for new builds and extra provisions for high-rises. Because of this, designs that meet the state’s minimum requirements can still fail a city plan check.
It is dependent upon the workload and the quality of the submission. The LAFD Plan Check is more efficient when the submittal addresses the local amendments and provides a complete set of drawings with the correct calculations. An incomplete submittal will result in multiple comment cycles and will take several weeks. We pride ourselves on submitting a complete response and doing Plan Checks quickly.
Yes. Having new partition walls and dropped ceilings changes head spacing and coverage. We modify branch lines and submit new drawings. We also assess possible testing around the buildout. Older buildings may not identify undocumented piping until the ceilings are open and we quote that work.
A change of occupancy, substantial alteration of the tenant space, an increase in square footage, or a certain ordinance from the city. Simply the age of the building does not trigger a retrofit. We can assess your project against the current code and identify which trigger applies so you can avoid unnecessary expenditures.
