At Lexus Engineering, our experienced electrical consultants provide comprehensive fire alarm system designs and verifications that meet the highest standards of provincial and municipal codes.

The National Building Code – 2019 Alberta Edition directs that fire alarm systems are to be tested and verified after installation. We verify fire alarm systems in conformance with CAN/ULC-S537, "Verification of Fire Alarm Systems", to ensure they are operating satisfactorily. Following the verification, we review the Fire Alarm Report issued by the Fire Alarm technician, and issue a "Fire Alarm Certificate" stamped by a Professional Electrical Engineer. This certificate is required for occupancy by the tenant.
