ABSTRACT
The architect’s job specifications must also be reviewed. These should include a section (normally numbered anywhere from 15,300 to 15,700)1 reserved for the fire sprinkler system installation. The specifications are often “canned,” or just copied from an old job, and hence may not relate exactly to or in entirety to the project that you will be working on. But since the intent of the specifications must be adhered to in your system design, any obvious divergences referred to are typical discrepancies that the engineer will have to clarify with the architect before proceeding, or as soon as possible.
