Managing a Fire Alarm Installation: A LITTLE PLANNING CAN GO A LONG WAY

摘要

In new building construction, electrical contractors most often have the task of installing the fire alarm system. Generally, the fire alarm system does not represent a significant portion of the overall electrical quote. And, unfortunately, a common result is that these systems do not get the attention they deserve. As most experienced contractors will tell you, the building does not get a certificate of occupancy until the contractor has completed the fire alarm installation. In such a case, the delay in issuing the certificate of occupancy will frustrate the owner and also often cause lost revenue. The owner will expect the electrical contractor to reimburse the lost revenue.
