History
Established in 2004.
We first started strictly servicing Fire Extinguishers along with Millwright / Welding services. Over the years we educated our selves and diversified our service offering moving way from the subcontractors we relied on.
We partnered with BuildingReports Canada whom provides us with our electronic reporting capabilities: barcorded fire assets result in same day reporting allowing you to see what we see in real time.
Our diversified service offering allows us to make 1 site visit to your location whilst completing all of your service requirements the same day. Typically saving 30% compared to using a multiple of different contractors and alternate schedules.
Meet the Business Owner: Alan R.
I always wanted my own service business.
With my Journyeman Millwright Certification along with 4th Class Power Engineering background I started supplying Contractor Management services in 1997 for an international cement producer.
From there I moved from managing a handful of subtrades to over 3500 for 1 of Canada's largest construction firms and 1 of Canada's largest natural gas transmission companies.
Over my 7 year tenure of coordinating subcontractors, signing maintenance contracts, I developed a strong relationship with a varity of subcontractors that I still use to this day.
It wasn't my intent to jump into the Fire Safety Business. During prequalifying subcontractors, one of the requirements was to view their equipment, often times seeing what worked and didnt work.
Then it happened, a client stated "lets get into business together".
My partner lasted 5 months, I'm still here inspecting & maintaining, and at times inventing new products.
