SFC Engineering Partnership, Inc.

?? Happy Thanksgiving from SFC Engineering! ?? We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve our clients and collaborate on meaningful projects throughout the year. As we take time to celebrate with family and friends, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for being part of our journey. #sfcengineering #nhengineers #worklifebalance

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that U.S. fire departments respond to an average of 1,610 home cooking fires on Thanksgiving Day—nearly four times the daily average. Many of these incidents can be linked to a human cause. While encouraging safer practices is vital, leveraging advancements in knowledge and technology allows us to design and construct buildings that reduce fire risks. Fire sprinkler systems, smoke alarms and fire-resistant materials, make a difference. These systems make homes and apartments safer and save lives. At SFC Engineering, we specialize in fire protection engineering, offering expertise in fire and life safety consulting, including designing sprinkler and fire alarm systems. With over 50 years of experience—and team members who serve as local firefighters—our approach combines technical precision with practical, real-world insights. By integrating fire protection measures (whether required by local codes or not) into our buildings, we can create safer environments that protect both lives and property. Contact our team today and let us help keep you and your family as safe as possible this holiday season. #sfcengineering #nhengineers #fireprotection

Did you know the International Building Code (IBC) requires special inspections for firestopping in certain buildings? For example, schools, assisted living facilities, or community centers classified as Risk Category III or IV must undergo inspections to ensure firestopping is properly installed to safeguard lives and property. In some cases, local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) may also request additional special inspections, including firestopping, to enhance safety measures and compliance. At SFC Engineering, we’re proud to be fully certified by the International Firestop Council to perform these essential inspections. With our expertise, we help contractors and building owners meet code requirements while ensuring the highest standards of fire safety. Here’s how we can help: ? Comprehensive firestopping inspections by certified professionals ? Detailed reports to facilitate smooth code compliance ? Expertise backed by decades of fire protection engineering experience Whether your project is a school, healthcare facility, or another community-focused structure, SFC is your trusted partner in fire safety. Let’s ensure your buildings are built not just to last—but to protect. ?? Ready to get started? Contact us today! #sfcengineering #fireprotection #firestop

At SFC Engineering, our Fire Protection Engineering team is dedicated to safeguarding your projects—and your bottom line. With over 50 years of collective experience, our experts deliver holistic solutions, offering services like automatic fire suppression design, fire alarm systems, and code consulting to protect people, property, and progress. The earlier we’re engaged in your project, the more value we can add. When fire protection requirements are integrated into the design process, you save time, money, and prevent unwelcome surprises down the road. Consider this hypothetical example: A commercial building addition is well underway when the owner learns that fire code requirements demanded a major fire suppression upgrade. This unforeseen scope derails their project timeline and exceeds their financing capacity. If a fire protection engineer had been involved earlier, they could have developed a compliance strategy to avoid delays and mitigate costs. At SFC, we specialize in navigating these challenges, ensuring compliance without compromise. Whether it’s fire suppression systems, egress analysis, or fire and life safety consulting, we’re here to streamline your project from day one. SFC knows fire. Let’s collaborate to safeguard your project.
