Engineering Hub: System Design, Drawings & BOQ
Enter the duty, or describe any requirement and attach the drawing. AutoCAD, PDF, a spreadsheet or a photograph is accepted. The desk sizes what it can from NBC 2016 Part 4, IS 15105, IS 3844, IS 13039, TAC, NFPA 13, NFPA 20, IS 732, IS 3043, IS 2189, ISHRAE and ASHRAE 62.1, draws the P&ID or single-line diagram, the scaled plan, both elevations, section A-A and the isometric, and writes the bill. A PEB shed takes length, width, eave, bay, slope, basic wind speed, crane and cladding, and draws the framing plan, the anchor bolt plan, both elevations, section A-A and a rotatable 3D model. Fire suppression and fire detection sit under Fire protection, not as a separate project type. A mark you add on the sheet is saved with the download. A licensed engineer still stamps the issue.
Choose project type
Fire protection is selected. The subcategories for this type are under this list. The drawing and the bill further down are the existing type page. A catalogue price is used when it matches. Otherwise a published Indian rate plus 20% is shown with its source. Erection is 10% of that system's materials, testing 2%, and transport 3%.
Subcategories
Each subcategory has its own design basis, calculation, drawings, bill and quotation.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pump flow | IS 13039 table by hazard and number of hydrants | high hazard. 6 hydrants from 30 m yard spacing. Table 3 duty 2,850 L/min. Sprinkler demand 3,250 L/min. Selected catalogue pump 3,400 L/min (204 m³/h), the next listed duty at or above 3,250 L/min. | 204 m³/h · 3,400 L/min | IS 13039:2014 Table 3 |
| Pump head | The higher of the table pressure and static + friction + residual | Table pressure 8.8 kg/cm². Hazen–Williams on 3,400 L/min, 200 mm, C 120, L 191 m gives 3.6 m. Remote residual 3.5 bar. Velocity 1.80 m/s. | 88 m | IS 13039:2014 / IS 3844 |
| Jockey | 4 percent of the main pump, between 3 and 5 percent, at main head plus 5 m | 4 percent of 3,400 L/min is 136 L/min. Head 88 m + 5 m. | 180 L/min at 93 m | IS 13039:2014 cl. 5.1.9 |
| Fire water | Tank = the larger of the sprinkler reserve and a hydrant reserve scaled to the hydrant count | Sprinkler 3,250 L/min × 90 min = 292.5 m³. Hydrant reserve scales the table pump 2,850 L/min by 6 / 20 hydrants over 3 h = 153.9 m³. Not the full table pump × duration. | 293 m³ | IS 13039:2014 Table 4 |
| Sprinkler demand | Q = density × area of operation | high hazard: 12.5 mm/min × 260 m², the most remote design area. Not the 2,000 m² floor and not × 2 floors. | 3,250 L/min | IS 15105 / NFPA 13 |
| Detection | Area ÷ detector coverage, and travel to a call point | Smoke 68: one per 60 m² of the 2,000 m² floor, × 2 floors. Heat 0. Flame 0. Beam 0. Call points 4. Sounders 2. Addressable panel, 72 devices. | 72 devices · 1 panel | IS 2189 / NFPA 72 |
| Suppression medium | Medium from the risk, then the code density or flooding factor | Ordinary or light hazard density over the code area of operation. 68°C pendent. Hydrant and hose remain the manual system. | Water, wet-pipe sprinkler | IS 15105 / NFPA 13 |
| Sprinkler heads | (Area per floor ÷ coverage) × floors | 2,000 m² per floor ÷ 9 m² = 223 heads on one floor × 2 floors. Pump flow stays on the remote design area. | 446 heads | IS 15105 / NFPA 13 |

Supply is the material and the transport. Installation is erection, testing and commissioning, and the other site services. Each section has its own ex-GST subtotal. GST and the grand total follow. A catalogue match is used when the catalogue has a price. Where it does not, the rate is a published Indian marketplace or maker price plus 20%, and the source is on the line. Every material rate is ex-GST, and GST at 18% is added on it. A published price that already included GST is converted to the ex-GST figure and 18% is shown separately. Erection and installation labour is 10% of that system's material subtotal, testing and commissioning 2%, and transport 3%, with GST at 18% on those allowances.

Road part-load from the pincode. Chargeable weight is the higher of actual kg and 300 kg per cubic metre. Confirm the truck before a PO.
- 2,000 m² is the area of one floor, 2 floors, 8 m height. Sprinkler heads, sprinkler branch pipe and smoke detectors are that floor counted again on every floor. The sprinkler pump stays on the remote design area.
- Prices on the quotation are ex-GST. A catalogue match is used first. Where the catalogue has no price, a published Indian rate plus 20% is used and the source is on the line. GST at 18% is added on every material line. A price the source already quoted including GST is converted to the ex-GST rate and 18% is shown separately.

- This is an enquiry BOQ, not a sanctioned design. A licensed consultant stamps the drawing before construction.
- Fire NOC from the local authority. In Gujarat, the Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act applies to the buildings it covers.
- Suppression medium is Water, wet-pipe sprinkler. Ordinary or light hazard density over the code area of operation. 68°C pendent. Hydrant and hose remain the manual system. A licensed fire consultant stamps the design before the Fire NOC.
