CDS — Complete Design System: Fire Alarm · BDA/ERCES · Sprinkler · Suppression · BIM · Submittals · Site Visits
For contractors
Use ProTech CDS as a white-label extension of your estimating, design, and project management teams. Drawings ship with your title block, relationships stay confidential, and your internal designers can focus where they are needed most.
For MEP firms
Partner with ProTech CDS as your dedicated fire protection sub. We integrate directly with your Revit workflow, coordinate with your mechanical and electrical models, and deliver stamped fire protection packages under your project umbrella — so you can offer complete MEP coverage without building an in-house FP team.
For architects
Bring us in when fire protection decisions affect ceilings, specialty spaces, egress, rated assemblies, or permitting strategy. We translate system requirements into clear input your full design team can act on.
Enterprise proof
Large clients want confidence before they send plans. ProTech CDS backs the relationship with senior review, clear confidentiality practices, and experience across demanding building types.

Story
ProTech CDS was built by fire protection professionals who got tired of watching contractors wait weeks for drawings that came back wrong. We set out to build something better — a full-service design operation that functions as your in-house design department, without the overhead of hiring one.
From Amazon fulfillment centers and high-rise towers to military installations and hospital campuses — if it's complex and high-stakes, we've designed it.
Today our team handles fire alarm, BDA/ERCES, sprinkler, suppression, BIM, takeoffs, submittals, and site visits for contractors across the country. Every project runs through NICET IV review before it leaves our hands. PE seals are available in all 50 states. And your clients never know we exist — every drawing ships under your brand.
We don't just design systems. We protect the projects that matter most.
Mission
To be the most trusted fire protection design partner for contractors, MEP firms, and architects across the country — delivering complete, accurate, on-time designs that pass the first time. We're not a vendor. We're the design department you never had to hire.
Expertise · Precision · Reliability
A full bench of experienced designers covering fire alarm, BDA/ERCES, sprinkler, pre-action, VESDA, voice evacuation, BIM, and suppression systems. Deep enough to handle multiple large projects simultaneously — no waiting, no bottlenecks.
Most design firms stop at drawings. We go further — takeoffs, AHJ submittals, plan review coordination, PE seals, and on-site verification. You hand us a project, we hand you approved drawings.
Speed without accuracy isn't a service. We build quality checks into every phase, so your drawings arrive ready for permit — not for revision. Revisions due to our errors are handled at no additional cost.
