Having started "from the ground up" back in 1989, has given XL Fire Protection Design Services a unique insight into the Fire Protection Industry. Purchasing, Database Creation, Fabrication Shop Management, Design, Fire Design Consulting, as well as serving as an Instructor for MEPCAD AutoSprink Design Software, has been instrumental in creating a deeper understanding of the Fire Protection Industry as a whole. We understand the dynamics of a Fire Protection System Design, from both the Architect / Engineer, and Contractor perspectives.


We also never promise more than we are capable of delivering. If we cannot meet the timeline for your Project, or if it is outside the scope of our capabilities, we will gladly refer you to one of our many contacts in the industry. Serving in the Fire Protection Industry for over 35 years, we have developed a vast network of Fire Protection Industry friends and partners: including Authorities Having Jurisdiction, Architects, Engineers of all disciplines, Designers, and Contractors.
