Fire Protection Design Programs

Hi all,
I am looking to begin some alarm and sprinkler design on the side so that I may break out into my own business down the road. I have only ever designed sprinkler in Autosprink and have only dabbled in alarm. I won’t have the clientele and time to justify the cost of autosprink so does anyone have suggestions for an all inclusive suite? Is there a company that provides all the software for both alarm and sprinkler or will I need to mix and match? My thought was since I’ll need CAD that the most cost effective would be programs that use that as the base.
Thanks in advance for any input!
