I believe there will be plenty of business for everyone. The challenge to the fire sprinkler contractor, is to adapt to the new and changing market. That's where this group should be focusing. Where and how to make sure you get your piece of the very big pie. Now is the time to prepare, and train train train train train. Educate. My opinion, only. Happy Friday all! T

Plumbing contractors are going to start doing this work- both conventional and MP systems - regardless of licensing or code or jurisdictional variables. BECAUSE IT MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSE. And who's to stop them? Homebuilders will appreciate the one-stop shopping and many plumbing contractors already have design departments. I've said this dozens of times already in this forum but I'll say it again - it's not rocket science.

That's work you no longer have access to. Does that raise any eyebrows?
