Unicad

At UNICAD, we take pride in being specialists in Fire Alarm Design & Drafting Services. Our primary focus is on providing accurate and timely fire alarm shop drawings for fire alarm system installations. We customize our designs to meet the specific codes and standards applicable to our clients' projects. With our attention to detail, we reduce the likelihood of problems during the permitting and construction phases. Our designs comply with a wide range of relevant codes, including:

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

Pre-Bid and Design Build Services

Over the years, we have established strong 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 enable them to accurately bid and win jobs. We conduct thorough 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 level of detail necessary for contractors to complete projects efficiently, within budget, and without confusion. Our designs are particularly useful when a contractor uses a third-party to pull cabling and install boxes and devices. We show contractors where to place devices, which cables to pull, and where to install them, as well as other details necessary to ensure the job is completed correctly.

Our Team

At UNICAD, we have a team of design and CAD professionals with decades of design experience and technical expertise. We have several staff members with National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) certifications in fire alarm systems. Our team consists of:

• Two NICET Level IV in Fire Alarm Systems
• One NICET Level III in Fire Alarm Systems

We strongly support and encourage NICET certification for all our employees.
