Fire and life safety systems assessments
Fire alarm, suppression, egress, and life-safety systems evaluated against applicable NFPA standards and your adopted fire code.
Overview
Fire alarm, sprinkler, and egress systems only protect occupants when they are installed correctly, working, and documented. CodeSure's Fire & Life Safety Systems Assessments evaluate those systems against applicable NFPA standards and your adopted fire code, then document what we find and what to do about it.
Assessments are performed by certified fire and life-safety professionals, including a Fire Code Official, and are written to be clear enough for owners, insurers, and authorities having jurisdiction to act on.
What we deliver
- Fire Alarm & Detection. Evaluation of alarm, detection, and notification systems for code compliance and function.
- Fire Suppression Systems. Assessment of sprinkler, standpipe, and other suppression systems against applicable NFPA standards.
- Means of Egress. Review of exits, exit access, signage, and emergency lighting to confirm occupants can get out safely.
