Start with the building and site information
Share the current plans, site layout and available details of any existing hydrant installation. Identify new work, altered areas and constraints the designer should investigate.
Consider water supply and layout together
The design assessment needs relevant water supply information and a coordinated view of proposed system locations. Existing equipment records can help establish the scope, but gaps and uncertain conditions should remain visible.
Confirm the project-specific requirements
The responsible designer determines the applicable design requirements and supporting information for the project. Agree the drawing package and any further investigations before using the design as the basis for installation pricing.
