If a change in density is required, what steps need to take place? change sprinkler heads or water suppply systems?

If you are not certain that any improvements are required, you should ask the risk consultant for details (what density is the existing system capable of providing and what density is required for the given occupancies). Any reputable sprinkler contractor will also confirm the existing system is actually inadequate before they complete any improvements.........they can let you know whether the system is adequate or not, tell you exactly what needs to be changed and provide a quote for the associated cost.
Good Luck!
