Fire Alarm Contractors Who Understand Commercial Construction

A fire alarm system is your building's first line of defense — and one of the most heavily regulated systems in any commercial project. JB Technologies designs and installs addressable fire alarm systems that meet NFPA 72, IFC, and local AHJ requirements for new construction, tenant improvements, and retrofit projects throughout Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and the Carolinas.

We work alongside general contractors and building owners from preconstruction through commissioning, handling device layout, specification compliance, SLC loop design, NAC circuits, sequence-of-operations programming, and final acceptance testing — so your project passes inspection the first time.

System Design & Engineering

We develop complete fire alarm drawings from scratch or work from architect-provided plans. Our designs account for device spacing per NFPA 72, SLC loop architecture, NAC circuit loading, battery backup calculations, and sequence-of-operation requirements. Every design is submitted for AHJ approval prior to installation.

Installation

Our licensed technicians install initiating devices, notification appliances, control panels, power supplies, annunciators, and relay modules. We coordinate with the electrical contractor for power drops and with the GC for ceiling access. Rough-in and trim are sequenced to match construction milestones and avoid rework.

Programming & Commissioning

Point-by-point programming and loop configuration ensure every device is correctly identified in the panel. We write and test the full sequence of operations — elevator recall, air handler shutdown, door holder release, smoke control integration — before scheduling the AHJ inspection.

Testing & Inspection

We perform full NFPA 72 acceptance testing including 100% device testing, audibility verification, battery load testing, and trouble condition simulation. We prepare all required documentation and attend the AHJ inspection. Annual inspection services and 24/7 monitoring connections are also available.

Fire Alarm Systems for Every Building Type

Fire alarm requirements vary significantly by occupancy type, construction classification, and local AHJ. JB Technologies has installed code-compliant systems across a wide range of commercial building types throughout the Southeast.

Office & Commercial

Tenant improvement and new construction fire alarm systems for Class A office towers, mixed-use developments, and commercial buildings.

Healthcare

NFPA 72 and NFPA 101 compliant systems for hospitals, medical office buildings, and outpatient facilities with smoke compartment integration.

Multifamily

Addressable fire alarm systems for apartment complexes, student housing, and senior living — including corridor and in-unit devices.

Warehouse & Industrial

High-bay detection, beam detectors, and linear heat detection for warehouse, distribution, and light manufacturing facilities.

Education

K-12 and university fire alarm systems designed to meet state education agency requirements and integrate with mass notification platforms.

Hospitality

Hotel and resort fire alarm installations coordinated with existing systems, elevator integration, and central monitoring connections.

Fire Alarm Capabilities

Addressable & Conventional Systems

Intelligent addressable panels with point-by-point identification for large facilities; conventional systems for smaller occupancies where cost efficiency is critical.

Mass Notification Integration

Integration with emergency communication systems (ECS) and mass notification platforms for campus-wide or multi-tenant voice evacuation.

Smoke Control Systems

Interface with building HVAC and smoke control systems for elevator pressurization, stairwell pressurization, and atrium smoke exhaust.

Central Station Monitoring

UL-listed central station connections for 24/7 alarm monitoring, trouble notification, and supervisory signal management.

Wireless Fire Alarm Devices

Wireless initiating devices and notification appliances for retrofit projects where running new cable pathways is impractical or cost-prohibitive.

Multi-Building Campus Systems

Networked fire alarm systems connecting multiple panels across a campus via fiber optic backbone with central annunciation and monitoring.

Code Compliance We Build To

Every fire alarm system we design and install meets or exceeds the applicable codes and standards. We stay current with code adoption cycles across all Southeast jurisdictions.

NFPA 72

National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code — the primary standard governing fire alarm system design, installation, and testing requirements.

IFC / IBC

International Fire Code and International Building Code requirements for occupancy-specific fire protection and detection systems.

Local AHJ Requirements

We coordinate directly with the Authority Having Jurisdiction in each municipality to ensure permit approval and acceptance testing compliance.
