Demonstrate building infrastructure safety and performance
As building materials and construction techniques evolve, so do the codes, standards and requirements that help ensure buildings’ safety, quality and fire performance.
We offer code compliance, fire safety, building envelope testing, building inspection and training services to help manufacturers, architects, engineers, specifiers and code authorities meet evolving requirements for building infrastructure.

Our capabilities for building infrastructure safety
Building Inspection Services
We offer customized services to evaluate the compliance of your building’s safety systems to international code requirements and identify compliance gaps so you can make improvements for the proper operation of fire, life safety and security systems.
Building Envelope
Building envelopes must protect against extreme weather while meeting performance and energy efficiency demand. We can assess building envelope product and system performance and help you meet regulatory demands and protect brand value.
Building Fire Safety
Our third-party testing and certification services help demonstrate the compliance of building materials, systems and assemblies with fire and smoke safety and sustainability requirements and confirm safety, performance, reliability and security.
Building Safety Resources and Training
Our Code Authorities® community offers tools and resources to help code authorities work confidently and efficiently. We also offer construction courses built by safety experts covering a variety of topics, from crane operator safety to heat stress.
