Every Phase of Fire Protection
From initial design through ongoing inspection and emergency response — Richardson handles every phase in-house. No handoffs, no subcontracted work you don't know about.
System Design
Custom engineering and hydraulic calculations for any building type, occupancy class, or hazard level. NICET-certified designers on staff.
Installation
Expert installation of wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, and deluge sprinkler systems. We hit your schedule milestones — rough-in, above-ceiling, trim-out.
Inspections
Annual, semi-annual, and quarterly NFPA 25 inspections with full documentation, deficiency reports, and corrective action — everything your insurance and AHJ require.
Testing & Maintenance
Flow tests, drain tests, and full NFPA 25 testing cycles. We keep your system compliant and performing so there are no surprises at the next AHJ inspection.
Emergency Service
Frozen pipes, accidental discharges, damaged heads — we respond fast to get your system back online and your building back to operations.
Permit & AHJ Coordination
We handle plan submittal, permit pulls, AHJ pre-application meetings, and final inspection scheduling — so you never have to chase the fire department.
One Sub. Every Phase.
Family Owned
Every GC gets a direct line to the owner — not a dispatcher or call center. Decisions get made on the spot.

Design-Build Turnkey
Hydraulic design, stamped drawings, permit submittal, and all field phases — one sub from bid to certificate of occupancy.
Schedule-Driven
We sync with your construction schedule and commit to rough-in, above-ceiling, and trim-out milestones — not vague windows.
