Design Services

At HAI, we work under a philosophy of cohesive design from concept to execution, which provides our clients with feasible, practical, goal-oriented fire protection designs. Throughout the phases of a traditional design, we integrate the necessary elements in order to present a prescriptive fire protection system that is cost-effective to install and maintain.

For challenging designs which may involve life safety, property protection, mission continuity, heritage preservation, and environmental protection, our engineers develop a performance-based design, which focuses on specific protection criteria. At Hughes, we make performance-based design simple for our clients. While the concepts require sophisticated analysis, we provide all of our clients with engineers who are in the forefront of performance-based design technology. We provide detailed analysis from complete project review to fire/egress models, smoke control, sprinkler/fire alarm response and much more. All of these services will bring our clients one step closer to creating an environment that is compliant, safe for all, and cost-effective.
