Fire Protection for New Construction in Connecticut
From blueprint to certificate of occupancy, Titan delivers fire alarm and life-safety systems for new commercial construction across Connecticut. Our drawings are crystal clear for efficient field installation, our crews coordinate cleanly with all other trades as required, and our final inspections clear without rework. One Titan project number, one accountable contact, and AHJ relationships across the state.
What's Included
- Design development & fire system drawings — full plan-and-detail set, voltage-drop and battery calcs, sequence of operations, NFPA 170 symbology
- AHJ submittal & revision management — we file directly with your local Connecticut fire marshal and manage every review round
- Pre-construction coordination — attend GC and trade meetings; coordinate with electrical, sprinkler, and HVAC contractors
- Rough-in coordination — back-box layouts, conduit runs, stub-up locations shared with the electrical contractor
- Device installation & trim-out — full installation by Titan crews under one Titan project number
- System programming & commissioning — addressable point mapping, sequence-of-operations testing, integration with sprinkler and HVAC inputs
- AHJ final inspection & certificate of occupancy support — we coordinate the final walk and clear deficiencies on the spot when possible
- As-built drawings & owner training — final documentation package and end-user training session for facilities staff
- First-year inspection schedule — service agreement and inspection cycle already booked at handoff
Our Process
- Pre-design coordination. We meet with the GC, architect, and owner to align on occupancy use ground, AHJ expectations, and coordination needs with sprinkler and electrical trades.
- Fire protection design & AHJ submittal. Drawings, calculations, and sequence of operations submitted to your local Connecticut fire marshal. We manage every revision round directly.
- Rough-in. Back-box and conduit coordination drawings shared with the electrical contractor. Field walk-throughs to verify rough-in matches design.
- Trim-out, programming, and commissioning. Titan crews install devices, program the panel, and test every input and output against the sequence of operations.
- AHJ final inspection. We attend the final walk with your fire marshal, address any findings on the spot, and deliver the as-built drawing package and owner training.
Bring Titan in early.
We're glad to attend a single design coordination meeting at no charge to flag occupancy-use group issues, AHJ-specific requirements, and trade conflicts before they become COR (change order request) in the field.
Why Titan for New Construction
- Senior NICET-certified design on staff. Joe Montuori signs every Titan submittal package. AHJ-ready drawings on the first round.
- Connecticut-only focus. We know the AHJs reviewing your submittal. We know the format every CT fire marshal expects.
- Single point of accountability. Design, install, programming, commissioning, AHJ final — all on one Titan project number.
- No subcontracting the install. Titan crews install Titan-designed systems. No design-to-install handoff loss.
- Schedule discipline. Most CT GCs we work with have us on speed-dial because we don't break the CO date.
- CT State License #3274113.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the fire protection contractor be brought into a new construction project?
Earlier than most GCs realize. Bringing Titan in during design development — before drawings are bid out — saves rework: we can flag occupancy-use group issues, AHJ-specific requirements, and coordination conflicts with sprinkler and electrical before they become RFIs in the field. We're glad to attend a single design coordination meeting at no charge.
Do you coordinate with the GC, electrician, sprinkler contractor & other trades?
Yes. New construction is a coordination job before it's a wiring job. We attend pre-construction meetings, share device counts and coordination drawings with the electrical contractor for rough-in, integrate with the sprinkler contractor's flow switches and tamper switches, and align our commissioning schedule with the project's certificate of occupancy date.
What does Titan deliver at the end of a new-construction project?
A signed-off final inspection from your CT fire marshal, as-built drawings reflecting any field modifications, the full sequence of operations, an end-user training session for facilities staff, and the first-year inspection schedule already on the calendar. Owner's manual and warranty package included.
Can Titan handle multi-building campuses or phased construction?
Yes. Multi-building campuses, phased openings, and tenant-by-tenant occupancy schedules are routine for us in Connecticut. We coordinate device addressing, partition the system to allow phased commissioning, and file partial certificates of occupancy with the AHJ as each phase comes online.
Is your design ready for AHJ submittal on a tight schedule?
Yes. Most of our new-construction submittals reach first AHJ submission within 2-4 weeks of award, and we manage revision rounds aggressively. Our drawings are formatted exactly the way Connecticut fire marshals expect them, which reduces review-cycle time and keeps your CO date on track.
