The architect has it backwards. The contract documents are where it needs to be in writing that the fire sprinkler protection system must be designed and installed in a specific manner. That specific manner must be explicitly stated in the fire protection documents or be the unambiguous conclusion of the document’s interpretation by an experienced fire protection contractor of reasonable intelligence. If the specific design manner is somehow present in documents excluded from the fire protection contractor, like sometimes happens for any number of reasons, then the general contractor has a tit in the wringer. You as contractor might be happy to volunteer ideas as to what color the architect is going to paint the fire protection system components.
