Home Fire Sprinkler Design

Early fire control can make a critical difference in a home — practical, coordinated sprinkler solutions to improve life safety and property protection.

We provide professional design consultancy for automatic home fire sprinkler systems in one- and two-family homes, developed with reference to AS 2118.5-2008 (Reconfirmed 2020), which addresses the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of these systems.

Design objective: A reliable and unobtrusive home sprinkler solution coordinated with the dwelling layout, available water supply, architectural finishes and applicable approval requirements.

What We Offer

Our Home Sprinkler Design Services

Project & Compliance Review

Review of the dwelling type, floor plans, room use, ceiling arrangements and project approval requirements.

Sprinkler Layout & System Planning

Coordinated sprinkler locations and coverage arrangements considering room geometry, obstructions and architectural features.

Water-Supply Assessment

Assessment of available water-supply information and identification of flow, pressure and connection requirements.

Hydraulic Design & Pipe Sizing

Hydraulic design calculations and pipe sizing using the relevant design criteria and selected sprinkler components.

Independent or Combined System Design

Design support for an independent sprinkler system or, where suitable, a combined arrangement with domestic plumbing.

Drawings, Specifications & Schedules

Design drawings, schematics, calculation summaries and sprinkler schedules suitable for approval and installation.

Coordination & Construction Support

Coordination with architects, hydraulic consultants, builders, plumbers and certifiers, including shop drawing review.

Homes in Bushfire-Prone Areas

Home fire sprinklers can form part of a broader fire-safety strategy for dwellings in bushfire-prone locations, particularly by providing automatic protection against fires that develop inside the home.

Important distinction: AS 2118.5 home fire sprinklers are primarily internal life-safety and property-protection systems. They should not be represented as a substitute for bushfire-specific building design, site planning, vegetation management or any separate external sprinkler or water-spray system required by the project's bushfire assessment.

Typical Residential Applications

Detached houses and single dwellings
Terrace houses, townhouses and villa units separated by fire-rated walls
Moveable or relocatable dwellings
Cabins and granny flats
New homes, major renovations and selected retrofit projects
