Accessibility Support for Compliant Building Design
LRI reviews buildings and design documents to identify accessibility barriers and compliance issues that may affect occupants. We support teams on both new construction projects and upgrades to existing facilities. About accessible design.
Coordinated Testing for Integrated Life Safety Systems
Integrated Systems Testing (IST) verifies and documents that fire protection and life safety system interconnections operate in conformance with their design criteria. LRI supports the planning, coordination, and execution of IST, along with documentation and reporting, enabling project teams to identify and address deficiencies prior to occupancy or system turnover.
