Fire Permitting & Testing
Fire permitting and testing sit at the center of life safety and occupancy. Without approvals for sprinkler and standpipe systems, alarms, and emergency power, a building cannot be cleared for safe use. Requirements are exacting, inspections are unforgiving, and sign-offs are often on the critical path to turnover. For New Building (NB) and Alteration Type 1 projects, the base building fire alarm system Letter of Approval (LOA) is required to obtain a Temporary or Final Certificate of Occupancy.
We manage all facets of fire safety, including fire department filings, technical reviews, and coordinated testing with precision. Our services include fire alarm application code consulting, pre-filing plan review, filing and submission services, project authorization letters (permits required by FDNY prior to inspection), FDNY inspection scheduling, fire alarm pre-tests, FDNY inspection attendance, and TCO affidavits, among others. Our team coordinates with contractors, engineers, and inspectors to maintain clear oversight from submission through final acceptance. Our priority is to ensure your life safety systems are compliant, documented, and ready when occupancy milestones approach.
