Consulting Services

Strategic Oversight for Property Owners & Developers Navigating a fire life safety project can be a liability minefield. We act as your independent technical advocate, ensuring that your contractors are delivering a system that is not only code-compliant but cost-effective.

• Bid Review & Analysis: We vet contractor proposals to ensure they meet the specific requirements of the MD State Fire Marshal or PA UCC.

• Installation Oversight: We perform mid-project inspections to ensure the work matches the engineered drawings.

• Final Acceptance Testing: We represent your interests during the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) walk-through to ensure a smooth "Certificate of Occupancy" process.

Expanding Your Operational Footprint in MD & PA. For electrical and fire alarm firms looking to operate in Maryland or Pennsylvania, the primary hurdle is often the "Qualified Individual" (QI) requirement. We provide the master-level technical qualification your firm needs to pull permits and operate legally.

• Technical Qualifications: We provide the credentials required for firm licensure.

• Operational Oversight: Ongoing technical advisory to ensure your field teams are following state-mandated safety and code protocols.

• Regulatory Navigation: We handle the complexities of the Maryland State Board of Master Electricians and Pennsylvania municipal requirements.

Beyond the Surface-Level Inspection Modern buildings are complex ecosystems where the fire alarm must "talk" to the elevators, the HVAC system, and the security doors. We specialize in Integrated Testing (NFPA 4).

• Full-Building Compliance Audits: A top-to-bottom review of your facility's life safety posture.

• Interconnected Systems Testing: We verify that smoke control, fire dampers, and elevator recalls function as a single, cohesive unit.

• The "Ready-Audit" Program: We review your documentation, logs, and hardware on a quarterly basis to ensure you are 100% prepared for an unannounced Fire Marshal visit.

The Technical Back-Office for Electrical Contractors Don't turn down fire alarm work because of the paperwork or the lack of Qualified Individuals. We act as your specialized engineering department.

• Code-Compliant Layouts: We design the system to your site specs.

• Submittal Management: We handle the back-and-forth with the Fire Marshal.

• Pre-Test Support: We help you identify potential "fails" before the inspector arrives.
