FAQ
Auburn — questions
- Q.01Do you work with Valley Regional Fire Authority on permits?
- Yes. Valley Regional is the AHJ for Auburn and surrounding cities. We file submittals in the format their plan reviewers expect and coordinate corrections with the assigned inspector.
- Q.02Can you handle warehouse sprinkler scope?
- Yes. Warehouse and light-industrial sprinkler work usually means ESFR or extended-coverage design with specific pipe-schedule and obstruction rules. Send plans and we'll tell you upfront whether ESFR is required or whether a standard-spray system meets the occupancy classification.
