MEP consultants carry the design and answer for the result. Fire safety and security for MEP consultants needs a contractor that reads the specification closely and tells you when something does not fit. We price item by item and ask before we change anything.
How we respond to a BOQ
Send the specification, drawings and BOQ. We return a priced response that follows your item numbers, notes assumptions and lists exclusions. Where the spec is unclear, we ask in writing.

Systems we price and install
The usual ELV and fire scope includes:
- Fire fighting: pumps, tanks, hydrants, sprinklers and foam
- Fire alarm and PA: addressable detection and voice alarm
- CCTV and recording: IP cameras, switches and storage
- Access control and attendance: readers, controllers and software
- Gates, barriers and screening: entrances, vehicle control and DFMD
Clashes, substitutions and approvals
We list clashes between our systems and others, such as pipes against ducts or trays against beams. Any substitution is offered with data sheets and a reason, and waits for your approval. Fire safety and security for MEP consultants depends on this discipline.
Testing and handover
We run tests with your team, record results and give as-built drawings, data sheets and operating guides. For the authority's inspection, we prepare the system documents. We do not issue the Fire NOC.

Who we work with
MEP consultants, fire consultants, architects and builders can send one pack and get one priced response. Corporates, hospitals and industries that you advise can join the review. Defence projects can ask for a quote, subject to their security and vendor-registration rules. Many consultants like to compare us with other bidders, and we welcome that. Our reply states makes, quantities, exclusions and the tests we will run, so the comparison is fair. Send us a clarification list early, and we will answer it item by item. If your client asks for a value-engineering option, we price it separately and show what changes, so you can decide with full information. We keep every query and reply in one log for your records.
