One of the first things designers and engineers consider when creating a Fire Alarm System is the Occupancy Classification of the space. Occupancy Classification is “the formal designation of the primary purpose of the building, structure of portion thereof.”
Staying Ahead with Preventative Maintenance Agreements for Commercial Fire Alarm Systems
Preventative maintenance agreements (PMAs) are designed to keep businesses informed of inspections and allocate resources for service requirements.
Smoke Detector Sensitivity Testing
Smoke detectors experience a decline in effectiveness over time for reasons such as dust or age, making regular smoke detector sensitivity testing critical.
Code Compliance and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)
Most construction projects are subject to code compliance. Whether it’s a retail fit-out of a core space, ground-up construction, or a tenant improvement project, there are codes enforced by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

The Often-Overlooked Benefits of Commercial Security Systems
