Fire alarm Shop Drawings
Our main focus at UNICAD is Fire Alarm Design & Shop Drawings. We provide our clients accurate and timely fire alarm shop drawings for their fire alarm system installations. We customize our designs to meet the codes and standards applicable to our clients’ projects. Our close attention to detail reduces problems in permitting, and construction.

- International Fire Code (IFC)
- International Building Code (IBC)
- National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72)
- Life Safety Code (NFPA 101)

pre-bid and design build services
Over the years we have developed relationships with engineers and architects who rely on us to provide their fire alarm system bid documents. We provide the same level of design for contractors with pre-bid and design build services. These services allow them to accurately bid and win jobs.
We conduct code analysis using:
- Project Specifications
- International Fire Code (IFC)
- International Building Code (IBC)
- Life Safety Code (NFPA 101)
- International Mechanical Code (IMC)
- National Fire Protection Standards (NFPA)
cctv, access control & security designs
While not always required, CCTV, access control & security system designs provide the detail required for contractors to get projects completed timely, within budget and without the confusion that comes without designs. Our designs are especially useful when a contractor utilizes a 3rd party to pull cabling and install boxes and devices. We show contractors where to put devices, what cable to pull and to where and any other detail necessary to help get the job done right.
