In Berwyn, most of our projects begin with an inspection order or a maintenance contract that no longer controls downtime. We survey the equipment, read the reports and build a modernization scope that fixes the cause.
Every project is closed out with test records and documentation ready for the Office of the State Fire Marshal (with the City of Chicago for Chicago buildings) acceptance.

We schedule and document required tests.
