What AutoSPRINK does

AutoSPRINK is a purpose-built 3D CAD software platform for fire sprinkler system design, developed and supported in the United States by MEPCAD. The product enables fire protection designers to model sprinkler systems in three-dimensional space using intelligent pipe, fitting, and hanger objects; to run hydraulic calculations directly from the 3D model without exporting to a separate calculation engine; to coordinate pipe routing with other building trades via built-in clash detection and exports to Navisworks; and to generate fabrication-grade stock lists in minutes rather than hours. The software is deeply integrated with NFPA standards (NFPA 13, 14, 20, 24, 25, 409) and FM Global data sheets, and ships with a manufacturer-specific parts database covering major suppliers such as Victaulic, Tyco, Viking, Globe, Kennedy Valve, NIBCO, and Zurn. Specialized calculation features include the Smart Pressure Reducing Valve module, which performs combined supply-and-demand driven hydraulics with PRV-specific reporting.

The MEPCAD product family extends beyond the core AutoSPRINK design tool to AutoSPRINK FAB (fabrication modeling and detail drawings), AutoSPRINK RVT (a Revit add-in for bidirectional BIM data exchange), and AlarmCAD (fire alarm system design). The company monetizes through annual software subscriptions sold via direct phone sales (quote-based, pricing not publicly disclosed), with paid instructor-led virtual classroom training (Levels 1 and 2, plus FAB Designer Training) and the Sprinkler Academy 12-week design course as additional revenue streams. A free account signup and free pre-training course serve as top-of-funnel acquisition, complemented by twice-daily Q&A sessions, an active user forum (forums.mepcad.com), a beta tester program, and a library of self-help documentation and webinars. Support is delivered U.S.-based via phone and ticket system during extended weekday hours.

The customer base is concentrated in the U.S. fire protection industry and consists primarily of fire sprinkler contractors, independent designers, and fire protection engineering firms serving verticals including data centers, hospitals, airports, military and government facilities, warehouses, and residential buildings. The company has no external venture capital or private equity backing documented in the source material, and ownership appears to be founder/management controlled. No public financials, headcount figures, or revenue disclosures are available, and no AI/ML capabilities are advertised across the product surface; competitive differentiation is rooted in domain specialization, integrated hydraulic computation, U.S.-based support, and a deeply embedded workflow in the fire protection design process.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• HydraCAD: HydraCAD is a direct competitor to AutoSPRINK: a 3D CAD-based application for fire sprinkler system layout and hydraulic calculations targeting the same designer and contractor personas in the US fire protection market.
• SprinkCAD (Johnson Controls / Tyco): SprinkCAD is a competing fire sprinkler design software historically distributed through Tyco and now within the Johnson Controls ecosystem, addressing the same hydraulic calculation and stock listing workflows that AutoSPRINK serves.
• CANUTE Software: CANUTE provides fire protection design software (sprinkler and alarm) used by UK and international fire protection designers, with comparable 3D modeling and hydraulic calculation features to AutoSPRINK.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk (Revit / AutoCAD MEP): Autodesk's Revit and AutoCAD MEP platforms underpin AutoSPRINK's workflows and natively support fire sprinkler system design, representing both AutoSPRINK's platform partner and its broadest incumbent competitive threat.
• MagiCAD (Trimble): MagiCAD is a broad MEP design suite for Revit and AutoCAD that includes fire sprinkler modeling and calculations, competing with AutoSPRINK as part of a much wider HVAC, electrical, and piping portfolio rather than as a specialist tool.
• Bentley Systems (OpenBuildings / AECOsim): Bentley's OpenBuildings and AECOsim provide multi-discipline building design including MEP and fire protection workflows, competing with AutoSPRINK from a much broader infrastructure and BIM perspective.

Others

• Victaulic: Victaulic is a major fire sprinkler system manufacturer whose parts library is integrated into AutoSPRINK; it is not a direct software competitor but is strategically adjacent as both a content source and a potential in-house design tooling provider for spec-driven workflows.
