The complimentary spot check excludes a testing report. Formal testing and reporting are quoted separately.

Testing helps establish whether a system is needed

In some occupancies, such as those with smaller footprints or those located in close proximity to one of the HCSO’s transmission sites, it may be possible to achieve reliable public safety radio communications coverage throughout the occupancy and meet code requirements without the use of a radio communications enhancement system.

Documentation before occupancy

Tampa, Florida

Woodbridge Care Center

Their assessment showed that our building exceeded minimum signal coverage in all required areas. After reviewing the submitted survey, the AHJ confirmed that no system was required and cleared the deficiency. This saved our organization hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary equipment and long-term service costs.

ARCO National Construction

Holden reached out to me directly, was able to get on site same day to perform the test, passed with flying colors, and submitted the results to the fire department the same week. … I would highly recommend using them for BDA testing on your projects - he saved me time, headaches, and money.
