For sprinkler and fire alarm suppliers and fire protection contractors
Fire protection work coming up, market by market
New building permits and construction starts for anything big enough to need sprinklers. Groundbreak counts the projects that fit sprinkler and fire alarm suppliers and fire protection contractors in each market it reads, from the last 30 days of filings. Sprinkler and alarm design starts early, and the rough-in follows the structure floor by floor.
On 133 Miami jobs we measured, the fire protection permit landed a median 103 days after the first building permit, and three in four had it by day 490.
