Understanding Installation and Costs of the Residential Fire Sprinkler Market

Background and Objectives The need for fire sprinkler systems in residential construction has been under discussion for some time. A key element of the discussion involves an analysis of the actual impact that fire sprinklers have on the construction process. The purpose of this study was to obtain data directly from home builders concerning the installation of residential fire sprinkler systems. Some topics of interest included: Installation and design characteristics Permitting Costs Indirect impacts on the construction process

Data Collection Data was collected via an online survey of builders. An email invitation was sent to both NAHB members as well as the NAHB Research Center’s Online Builder Panel in April of 2007. The NAHB Research Center maintains its builder panel solely for the purpose of market research. The panel contains about 4,000 participants and is representative of the U.S. population of builders. Participation criteria required respondents to have installed at least 1 residential fire sprinkler system in the past 3 years. Given the small percentage of homes with sprinkler systems, a relatively small group of builders is experienced in sprinkler installation. 126 builders took the survey, and of those builders 102 had definitive knowledge of sprinkler pricing—the data from those builders is used in this report.

Data Collection (continued) Survey results were weighted to more accurately reflect market conditions. Weighting was based on number of homes built by each respondent. In other words, responses from builders are reflected in proportion to the number of units they construct--responses from larger builders are more heavily reflected than responses from smaller builders.

Detailed Findings The results of the 2007 survey were obtained primarily from the NAHB Research Center Builder Panel. These results are compared with similar data obtained last year (2006) based on builder responses from a general survey conducted of builders in areas of the country where some form of a fire sprinkler mandate has been implemented. The questions indicated on he following slides paraphrase the actual question posed to the respondent.
