Fire Protection and Life Safety Engineering includes the design of fire suppression and alarm systems, life safety code analysis, hazard evaluations, special hazard protection, and third-party inspections that verify system performance and compliance.

We conduct a hazard evaluation, review applicable building and fire codes, analyze occupancy types and risk levels, and then design systems such as alarms, sprinklers, or special hazard protection based on the building’s specific needs.

A life safety code analysis reviews how a building meets requirements for fire resistance, exits, detection, suppression, and occupancy safety—making sure everything is up to code.

Performance-based design uses modeling, fire dynamics analysis, and risk assessments to create solutions that meet safety goals when prescriptive code requirements are not practical or do not fully address a building’s unique features.

Third-party inspections provide independent verification that fire alarm, suppression, and life safety systems are installed correctly, functioning as intended, and compliant with code before occupancy or turnover.

ITM (Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance) documentation is the detailed record of all inspections and performance tests performed on fire protection systems to confirm ongoing compliance and system readiness.

A GSA pre-lease survey is required before leasing a facility to a federal agency to confirm that the building meets all applicable government fire and life safety standards.
