Fire sprinkler or irrigation system: define the subject first
The shared word “sprinkler” hides different purposes, standards and competent roles. Define the system before using a checklist.

State the outcome
A fire-suppression system is a life-safety matter for a building; irrigation distributes water to planting. Write the property or site, intended outcome and project stage at the top of the enquiry.
Use the right specialist
Ask a competent designer or contractor working in the relevant field. Do not transfer spacing, pressure or component assumptions from one type of system to the other.
Gather current site information
Provide drawings, water-supply information and constraints relevant to the project. Mark unknowns clearly so the specialist can identify surveys, tests or authority input still required.
