Ensuring Safety and Accessibility in Commercial + Mixed-Use Spaces

Global commercial real estate continuously requires forward-thinking design approaches to improve asset marketability for tenants and investment returns. Our team has partnered with building owners, property managers and architects for nearly 80 years to help navigate fire and life safety code compliance and mitigate safety concerns from pre-construction to potential retrofit. We help you manage everything from Third Party Review to Commissioning to negotiation with the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
