=>Civil design documents, NFPA Standard 13 requires that the fire sprinkler submittal documents contain a site plan drawn to scale, with adjacent fire hydrants and water supply information included.  Therefore the civil documents are required to prepare a fire protection site drawing.

=>Structural design documents, generally, all cross mains are located within 3" of a structural member, and parallel to it.  The type and depth of the structural members dictates the elevation of our fire sprinkler piping, as well as other MEP trades.  We must have these design documents to locate those bulk and cross mains and to establish the direction of our branch line piping.

=>Architectural documents, we require the interior wall locations and any finished ceiling plans to complete our submittal documents and locate the fire sprinkler heads.  This is stated in both the NFPA standard and BOCA building codes.

=>Lighting documents, the lighting layout(s) are required to space fire sprinkler heads in finished ceiling areas, and in warehouse areas if we are to install large drop or ESFR fire sprinkler heads.

=>Water supply information, generally, all hydraulic calculations are to be measured against a current water supply test (12 months old or less) and in some districts the fire marshal must witness the flow test.

=>Storage arrangement and commodity, to design the fire sprinkler system(s) to meet the code requirements we must know the commodity to be stored, how high it will be stored, how it will be stored (rack or solid piles...) and if it will be covered on top of the load with plastic.
