Ensuring Safety and Accessibility in Commercial + Mixed-Use Spaces
For nearly 80 years, we’ve partnered with building owners, property managers, builders, and architects to ensure compliance with fire and life safety codes. From pre-construction to project close out, we help identify and address safety and accessibility concerns, making spaces safe, accessible, and compliant.
Our expertise covers accessibility and universal design, code consulting, fire safety engineering, and energy and sustainability. We ensure buildings meet current safety standards and work with stakeholders to create solutions that enhance both safety and functionality.
