We are a small family owned and operated fire protection consulting firm specializing in complete design solutions for fire protection systems. With our roots originating in Newfoundland, our operations are now based out of St. Thomas, Ontario.
Our clients include architects, consultants, developers, and fire protection contractors, whose projects consist of a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Whether the project consists of a one sprinkler head relocate, or a complete design solution for a 40-storey building, we strive to deliver a premium consulting service based on Design Excellence, Engineered Efficiency, and Timely Service.
Although we are quite busy year-round, through our flexible work schedule, we ensure family time and mental health remains our top priority. If this non-traditional work culture and the details provided below are of interest, and you are a fire protection professional, we'd love to hear from you!
