Question: The company I work for does not have special expertise in fire alarm system installation. Rather, we operate as a general electrical contractor supplying a wide range of electrical installation services. Yes, we do install fire alarm systems. But, we rely on the fire alarm design of the engineering firm hired by the architect. From time to time this has gotten us into trouble. More and more we find that so-called "design professionals" do not really have expertise in the subtleties of NFPA 72-2007, National Fire Alarm Code. Our most recent project consists of the restoration of a historical auditorium. What kind of interfaces to other systems should we prepare to have the fire alarm system provide?
