Fire Protection Construction Projects — Toronto

Fire suppression and fire protection contracts are awarded through the GC tender process alongside electrical and mechanical — typically 2 to 4 months before construction begins. The fire protection system design is prepared by fire protection engineers during the design development phase, and fire protection contractors are often involved in the design coordination process before the building permit is issued.
