Common Questions From Smart Rural Builders

Modern systems use individual head activation - only the sprinkler near the fire activates, using minimal water. False activations are extremely rare (less than 1 in 16 million per year per head).

There are no annual maintenance costs. The owner just needs to maintain a record book which we provide as part of the design package.

Yes - it's in the NZ Building Code (C/AS7). We handle all council liaison and documentation.

Absolutely! The earlier we're involved, the easier and cheaper the integration. But we can work with any stage.

This typically SAVES money overall. Plus financing options available.
