When does a facility need sprinklers?
It depends on activity, area, number of floors and stored materials under SBC 801. Large warehouses, malls and multi-storey buildings usually need them. A survey and hazard classification first avoids under- or over-building the system.

Why Marfaa
A clear offer
The quote states specifications, quantities and timeline. No catch-all line items, no surprises on the invoice.
Compliance before handover
We do not hand over a system that would not pass inspection. Readiness for approval is part of the job, not an extra step.
After installation
A system needs scheduled maintenance to keep working. We stay with you after handover rather than ending there.
Have ready before the survey
- Building plan, or approximate area and number of floors
- The activity carried out in the facility
- Photos of existing systems, if any
- Any note from the municipality or Civil Defense
Frequently asked questions
How much does sprinkler installation cost?
It depends on area, hazard class, storage height and whether a pump and tank are needed. After the survey we send a detailed quote.
Do all sprinklers go off at once?
No. Each head activates on its own when heat rises above it, so water falls only where the fire is.
Can you modify an existing network?
Yes. If the activity, storage layout or partitions change, we recalculate and modify the network.
