Sweinstein is on fire. Figuratively. Please don't test the sprinklers on it.

Measure on top of the count

After the count, Sweinstein traces sprinkler pipe runs and totals the lengths per floor. Lengths are worked out exactly from each sheet's confirmed scale. The AI traces; the math is done in code.

Ask about your local code

Ask about the fire and life-safety codes and standards you work to. Answers quote the code books your company uploads and follow the project's province or state. They are a reference, not legal advice.
