What We Design

Full-Spectrum Life Safety Engineering

We're not limited to fire alarm design. Our large, dedicated design team covers every low-voltage and life-safety discipline your project demands — under one roof, on one coordinated model.

Fire Alarm & Voice Evacuation

Complete fire alarm system design from device layout to riser diagrams, battery calculations, and voltage drop — including intelligible voice evacuation and mass communication systems for the largest occupancies.

Sprinkler & Suppression

Fire sprinkler design, sprinkler monitoring, clean agent suppression (FM-200), and pre-action systems (NOVEC) engineered for mission-critical spaces where water isn't an option.

VESDA Design

Aspirating smoke detection (VESDA) design for data centers, cleanrooms, and high-airflow spaces — pipe network layouts and sampling-point placement for the earliest possible warning.

Smoke Control & HVAC Integration

Engineered smoke control sequences, FSCS panel layouts, and tight HVAC integration — plus carbon monoxide (CO) detection designed to current code.

Security & Access Control

Access control with maglock release, magnetic door holder release, CCTV, and integrated security design that keeps egress code-compliant.

Specialty & Low-Voltage Systems

Nurse call, area of refuge / rescue assistance, BIM, and data / structured cabling — the specialty systems most design firms won't touch.

Every discipline we design, at a glance:

Fire Alarm Voice Evacuation BIM Fire Sprinkler Sprinkler Monitoring Suppression (FM-200) Pre-Action (NOVEC) Clean Agent Smoke Control HVAC Integration CO Detection Mass Communication Data / Structured Cabling Access Control / Maglock Release Magnetic Door Holder Release Nurse Call Security CCTV VESDA Area of Refuge / Rescue
Platform Fluency

We Design in All Major Brands

Whatever panel your project specifies, our designers are fluent in it — from device libraries to panel-specific risers and battery calcs, ready for programming.

FA++Fire Alarm Design Software

Design Fire Alarms 2× Faster »

Simple, powerful fire alarm design software that runs right inside CAD. Installs in minutes, works like the commands you already know, and turns hours of tedious drafting into a few keystrokes. If you know CAD — you already know FA++.

01

PRECISE

Layouts, risers, and quantities that always match. No more unequal counts or out-of-sync sheets — perfect, consistent design, every single time.

02

FAST

Auto addressing, auto risers, auto wiring paths, and live calculations turn hours of tedious drafting into minutes. Designing becomes a breeze.

03

EASY

No expensive on-site training, no steep learning curve. It's so intuitive you can start designing real projects the moment it's installed.

Learning Curve

You Already Know How to Use It

Every designer already knows CAD — so every new hire is productive from day one. When you bring someone onto your team, you can be confident they'll be designing in FA++ the same morning they install it.

That's what makes FA++ different from other software: no inconvenient, expensive on-site or off-site training just to get started. It's as easy as picking up a few new CAD commands — and you'll be productive on your very first day.

FAQ

Fire Alarm Design — Common Questions

What is FA++ fire alarm design software?
FA++ is CAD-based fire alarm design software that lets you design fire alarm systems about 2× faster. It automates device addressing, wiring paths, riser diagram generation, and live voltage drop and current load calculations — all inside the CAD environment you already use.
How much does FA++ fire alarm design software cost?
FA++ costs $300 for a 1-month license, $1,800 for a 1-year license (just $150/month), or $3,600 for a 3-year license ($100/month). Every license includes the full feature set — no tiers, no add-ons.
