stories@amazemedialabs.com (Micah Davis, Justin Hassell) — Mon, 8 Dec 2025 05:00:00 +0000

Revit-based workflows are changing the way fire protection engineers design systems—from layout to fabrication. In this episode of Fire Protection Insights: The Fire Safety Podcast, host Justin Hassell sits down with Micah Davis, Senior Manager of Operations at Ferguson Fire Design, to unpack the newest enhancements in MicroBIM Fire.

Micah breaks down how the software has evolved from its roots as PipeFab into a fully integrated design and automation platform inside Revit. They talk about automation in sprinkler layout, hydraulic calculations, stocklisting accuracy, and how coordination is becoming more efficient with built-in clash detection and quality control tools.

You’ll also hear real-world examples of how MicroBIM Fire helps teams streamline workflows, reduce human error, and get accurate stocklists ready faster, without ever leaving Revit. If you're in fire protection or fabrication, this is an episode you'll want to hear.
