Welcome Brent Vollmers: Fire Alarm & Security CAD Designer

Welcome Brent Vollmers: Fire Alarm & Security CAD Designer

The design needs of our customers are continually evolving, so Brothers Fire & Security is always searching for new innovative ways to serve our clients and strengthen our growing company.

We believe it’s smart practice for a business to take a good hard look at all its fire and security systems and how there are integrated within the whole space, especially in this era of COVID-19. As a result, many of our customers are looking to redesign their internal spaces to address the changing environment.

One way of accomplishing these design needs is through the skills and knowledge of our talented team. We’ve added CAD designer Brent Vollmers to our team and I’m excited to see how he will advance our work to benefit customers.

Expertise in System Integration

Brent comes to Brothers Fire & Security with over 20 years of experience in restaurant design space. His expertise is understanding the vision for the space to design cost-effective layouts and design solutions. He understands how the flow of building systems needs to be integrated for the best use of the space.

Brent brings to his position the perspective that takes the entire space into account, which is essential in designing fire and security systems. His “global approach” to the design process will help Brothers Fire & Security in all the industries we serve, including schools, multi-family housing, industrial, manufacturing and day care systems.

To quote Minnesota’s own Bob Dylan, “the times they are a changing,” and Brothers Fire & Security is committed to continuing to respond to the needs of our customers during these challenging times.
