Reduce errors and save time by completing all fire system projects in one place. Ferguson provides the total package—including engineering, design, fabrication, and loose materials—for a diverse range of fire sprinkler projects. Get fire system designs, hydraulic calculations, budget planning, contract documents, and much more without needing to outsource to a third party.

  • Lower installed costs: Our end-to-end support streamlines your entire workflow from design to delivery. By consolidating your engineering, fabrication, and materials with one trusted partner, you eliminate vendor overlap, reduce on-site sorting time, and accelerate installation—ultimately driving down your total installed costs.
  • Expand your capacity: Managing complex, BIM-coordinated projects requires significant internal resources. Our dedicated engineering and design team acts as a seamless extension of your own, providing the immediate expertise and bandwidth you need to confidently bid on large-scale projects.
  • Streamlined procurement: Stock listing and material procurement are traditionally massive undertakings that consume valuable project hours. By seamlessly translating design data straight into material lists and custom fabrication instructions, we automate procurement. This ensures the exact, pre-sorted components you need are delivered directly to your job site.

Bundling program for fire protection

Ferguson's Fire & Fabrication exclusive Bundling Program organizes your custom pipe to match the project's installation sequence, helping your crew work more efficiently from day one. Clearly labeled bundles and digital packing information reduce material sorting, streamline staging, and improve jobsite productivity. The result is faster installation, lower labor costs, and greater schedule confidence.

Why choose Ferguson's Fire & Fabrication bundling?

  • Faster field installation
  • Less material sorting and staging
  • Improved crew productivity
  • Enhanced jobsite organization
  • Lower installed costs

When you submit your order, simply designate how you would like your bundles organized at the jobsite — by color, floor, or area. Ferguson applies large, highly visible tags to each bundle, making identification quick and easy before unloading. You'll also receive an electronic delivery packet detailing each bundle and its contents for added visibility and organization. Our bundling program is designed to reduce labor hours, improve jobsite efficiency, help meet project deadlines, and lower overall installed costs.
