Fire alarm and fire protection design for commercial, multifamily, and mixed-use buildings — prepared for your building and fire department submission, and coordinated with the rest of your permit set. One firm, one point of contact, for everything your project needs.
The more you can tell us up front, the more precise your proposal — and the fewer rounds of questions later. Usually back to you within 1 business day.
Fire alarm review involves both the building department and the fire department — and it's often the last piece anyone thinks about. Handling it early, and coordinating it with the rest of the set, is what keeps a project on schedule.
Scope is confirmed in writing before any work begins, so you always know exactly what you're paying for.
Fire alarm and fire protection design documents prepared for your building department and fire department submission, developed to the codes and standards that apply to your building and its use.
Reconciled against the electrical, mechanical, and structural drawings — so the fire alarm design doesn't conflict with what's already been designed and approved.
When the building department or fire department returns comments, we respond and revise. We stay engaged through the review process.
Fire alarm, fire protection, MEP, and structural can all be handled together — so you brief one team once, and get one coordinated package back.
The building, its use, floor plans if you have them, and what triggered the requirement. The more we can see, the more precise the proposal.
We review what the project actually requires and send a written proposal — typically within 1 business day — stating scope, fee, and schedule.
We develop the fire alarm design and coordinate it against the rest of the drawing set so the package submits as one consistent whole.
You get drawings prepared for submission, and we respond to comments from the building and fire departments through the review.
We provide design and permit drawings for fire alarm and fire protection systems, coordinated with the rest of your set. We do not install, test, certify, service, or monitor systems — that work is performed by licensed contractors, and we coordinate with the contractor you select. Final approval rests with the authority having jurisdiction (your local building and fire departments); no designer can guarantee an approval, and we won't claim otherwise. Because requirements vary by building, occupancy, and jurisdiction, we review every project before we quote it — rather than give an off-the-cuff answer that turns out to be wrong, we look at your project properly and confirm the full scope, fee, and schedule in writing before any work begins.
When a reviewer asks for fire alarm drawings mid-project, you need an answer this week — not a consultant who calls back next month.
Build-outs and change-of-use projects where the fire alarm submission is the last thing standing between you and an occupancy date.
Apartment, condo, and mixed-use buildings where fire alarm design has to be coordinated across units, corridors, and shared systems.
Existing buildings being renovated, reconfigured, or documented — including buildings where the original drawings are long gone.
Splitting a permit set across separate consultants is how drawings end up contradicting each other in front of a reviewer — and how a simple question turns into three phone calls. We handle fire alarm and fire protection alongside the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural work, so the whole package tells one story and you deal with one team.

"As a remodeling contractor, having a structural engineer I can actually count on makes all the difference, and that's exactly what we've had with Marcelo and George at Lebra Engineering & Design. We've worked with them for over three years and they're our go-to on every project that needs structural support. They're responsive, efficient, and — most importantly — genuinely available when we need them. Remodels never go exactly to plan, and more than once we've hit a surprise after demo that meant rethinking the structural approach. Every time, Marcelo and George have jumped in quickly to help us modify the plan and keep the job moving. That kind of reliability is hard to find. Highly recommend them to any contractor or homeowner who needs structural engineering done right."
"I can’t say enough good things about Lebra Engineering & Design. They took our outdated office space and transformed it into something modern and efficient. The team was knowledgeable, easy to work with, and always kept the project moving forward."
"We hired Marcelo Martins Ferreira and his team for a major construction project, and they were outstanding. They understood our vision and provided expert design and engineering solutions. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and the quality was exceptional. Will definitely use them again!"
"Efficient and Effective Load-Bearing Wall Removal I recently hired Lebra Engineering to design a steel beam for a load-bearing wall removal project with a 26' - 6" span. I was thoroughly impressed with their service from start to finish. They prepared the necessary drawings and calculation reports for my building permit application with remarkable efficiency. Within a few short days, I had all the documentation I needed. Their work was professional, accurate, and clearly demonstrated their expertise in structural engineering. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lebra Engineering to anyone needing structural design services. Their combination of speed, quality, and expertise made the entire process smooth and stress-free."
"We had a great experience with Lebra Engineering & Design. Their engineers helped us improve the layout and functionality of our facility, and the design team brought creative ideas that truly enhanced the space. Highly recommend them for any project!"
