Inefficient and time-consuming design processes

Fire design engineers face significant challenges in creating compliant fire sprinkler systems. Traditional manual design processes are time-consuming, prone to errors, and often require extensive rework due to clashes with other building services. This inefficiency leads to increased costs and delays in construction projects.
