Why are they asking for sprinkler layout drawings to be sealed? In most states with regard to the separation of responsibilities between engineering and Sprinkler layout, the contractor shop drawings are not considered "engineering" and are not required to be sealed by a professional engineer.
Also in most states an Architect is included in those permitted to stamp fire protection drawings but you need to review the specific wording in the state law. Craig L.
