Code Consulting + Built Environment
Our team of experts offers comprehensive services to a diverse range of clients in the built environment, such as architects, building owners, government agencies, and local authorities. Regardless of industry, we help these clients achieve scalability, adaptability, and resilience for their people and locations.
Achieve Scalability, Adaptability + Resilience
Our comprehensive services support the built environment, addressing a wide range of needs - from accessibility and universal design to mass timber consulting, life safety assessments, and wildfire risk mitigation. This work helps make our world safer, more secure, and more resilient. Accessibility, in particular, poses complex challenges due to the intricate web of overlapping laws, codes, standards, and initiatives governing this area. Meanwhile, mass timber continues to demonstrate its potential for resilient, aesthetically-pleasing design. Across all our work, our diverse team of specialists is committed to enhancing the resiliency of people, properties, assets, and operations against the growing array of wildland fire hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities.
Regulatory Consulting + Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) Support
AHJ Representation + Plan Review
Whether a project is a renovation, addition, tenant fit out, or new construction, all facility designs are subject to compliance approval by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Our engineers and consultants review your work during the building design phase to verify fire protection, life safety, and accessibility code compliance is achieved to maintain project schedules.
Achieving Effective Code Compliance + Address Design Needs
Code Consulting + Performance Based Design
Interpreting and applying building and fire safety codes can be a daunting task. With our in-depth knowledge of the regulatory landscape, we help clients successfully navigate code requirements and identify building and fire safety strategies that best fit the needs of their project. Our active involvement in international building and fire safety organizations allows us to stay informed of current standards and code updates and ready to address any potential concerns throughout the planning and installation process.
