Ironsmith Fire

What Ironsmith Fire does

Ironsmith Fire, LLC is a privately held commercial fire protection contractor founded in 2021 and headquartered in Collierville, Tennessee, in the Memphis metropolitan area. The company designs, fabricates, installs, inspects, and services fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems for commercial, industrial, healthcare, and institutional buildings across Tennessee, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi, with completed projects spanning 12 states. Its core technology stack combines Revit-based 3D BIM modeling with a proprietary two-person BIM coordination process, Trimble Robotic Total Station field verification, iPad-based digital reporting filed directly with Authorities Having Jurisdiction, and in-house fabrication shops in La Vergne, Tennessee and Olive Branch, Mississippi that produce custom pipe, threading, welding, and grooving for black steel, CPVC, and galvanized systems.

The company's revenue model mixes one-time project installation (new construction wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, deluge, and clean agent systems), recurring NFPA 25 and NFPA 72 inspection, testing, and maintenance contracts, 24/7 emergency repair and monitoring, and exclusive corrosion-protection services delivered through a partnership with Huguenot Laboratories. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting general contractors, property managers, developers, and facility owners, with projects won through competitive bid and relationship-based contracting. Notable enterprise customers include St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Hankook Tire, Jack Daniel's, Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, and Q&B Foods, supported by general contractor relationships with Flintco, Shimizu North America, and Blackburn Construction. Headcount has scaled from launch to over 100 employees by July 2025 and currently sits at 130+ across four operational offices, with fire alarm services and UL-listed central station monitoring positioned as upcoming extensions to the recurring revenue base.
