About Jensen Hughes

Jensen Hughes has partnered with building owners and property managers for nearly 80 years to navigate the complexities of fire and life safety code compliance throughout every phase of a building's lifecycle. We understand that existing buildings present unique challenges, from maintaining compliance with evolving codes to managing retrofit requirements while keeping your property operational and marketable. Our comprehensive services include property condition assessments to identify existing deficiencies and forecast financial implications, smoke control testing and inspections, fire alarm system design with consideration for reusing existing components, and campus-wide fire safety surveys for multi-facility portfolios. As consulting engineers and technical advisors—not contractors—we provide expert design, assessment, and compliance guidance while your chosen contractors handle the actual installation and repair work. Our team of 1,700+ engineers and consultants brings technical excellence and proven risk management strategies to help you maintain safe, compliant properties that protect people and assets.
