We've permitted such installations as we have no local requirement for signed/sealed sprinkler plans for residential systems. In one case, the homeowner was an engineer who worked for a local water company. He did the calcs and the installation. We've also given consideration to few who were using the Express Design Guide from the USFA.
Ultimately, it goes back to the local code requirements. If not specifically required locally, then you'll need to check the archives for last week's posts on AHJ's.
