Fire Alarm Inspections & Testing
Preparing for a fire alarm inspection or responding to a Notice of Defect? Go Advance provides fire alarm pre-testing and selected inspection coordination and documentation services to help projects prepare for the next review step.
Know what needs attention before an inspection
A pre-test can identify potential issues before a formal inspection. If the reviewing authority identifies defects, additional documentation or corrective work may be needed. Go Advance can assist with the engineering and filing side of that process; physical corrections and installation work are outside the published engineering scope.
