The ICC (International Code Council) has developed both codes to go hand in hand. You will find, for example, that chapter 9 of the ICC fire codes deals specifically with fire alarm and suppression systems, and so does chapter 9 of the ICC building code.
The codes will also reference each other quite a bit. They are meant to be used as a set for governing bodies to adopt as standards. My state, Ohio, has adopted both with some ammendments.

Olger H had a pretty good answer. I wanted to add that the 2003 Existing Building Code will only apply if it has been adopted by your city, county, state (whoever has the authority). Sounds like you do need a PE or Architect. They will know the most about the local requirements. Good luck. p.s. you might want to consider legal council, too. They can help you make the Contractor pay for any additional resources (Engineers, Architects) you might need if they are the ones who screwed up.

One has to do with buildings and the other fire.
