What We Do

Comprehensive Fire & Life Safety Services

Code Compliance Consulting

Comprehensive review and guidance on IBC, IFC, NFPA, and local jurisdiction requirements for new construction and major renovations. We identify code gaps early — before they become costly change orders.

Fire Suppression System Design Review

Independent peer review of sprinkler, standpipe, and suppression system designs. We verify hydraulic calculations, coverage, and compliance with NFPA 13, 14, and 15 standards.

Life Safety Inspections

Thorough on-site inspections of fire alarm, egress, suppression, and emergency systems. We document deficiencies and provide actionable remediation plans for building owners and managers.

Plan Review & Permitting Support

Expert assistance navigating the plan review and permitting process. We coordinate with AHJs, respond to correction notices, and keep your project on schedule.

Existing Building Assessments

Detailed fire and life safety evaluations for existing structures undergoing change of occupancy, renovation, or sale. We deliver clear, defensible reports that satisfy lenders, insurers, and code officials.

Construction Phase Monitoring

Ongoing oversight of fire protection installations during construction. We verify contractor work against approved plans, catch installation errors early, and provide inspection reports at every milestone.
