In California we have to do the full blown survey and calcs. We specifically asked the state Fire Marshal for clarification because we had clients balking at it.

I understand part of a system inspection is to verify the adequacy of the water supply. Many older buildings are missing the hydraulic placard on the riser, and original plans/calcs are not available. A full-blown survey and hydraulic calculation is too expensive and the owner will balk at it. Those of you who are involved in inspections, how do you handle this and what would you recommend? Would a rough 'guestimate' suffice depending on the occupancy? Thank you.
