Tenant Improvement (TI) Services
Adapting to Evolving Spaces
Guardian specializes in supporting tenant improvement projects by modifying existing systems or integrating new components, all while maintaining compliance and workflow continuity. When commercial spaces are being remodeled or reconfigured, fire protection systems must adapt to meet code and ensure occupant safety.
What we handle during TI work:
- Relocating sprinkler heads and fire alarms
- Exit sign and emergency lighting reconfiguration
- Permit acquisition and system recertification
- Timely execution to avoid project delays
Why Choose Guardian for Tenant Improvement Services?
Here are Some of The Reasons You Can Trust Guardian Fire Services
• We recheck occupancy, use, and hazard classification for every tenant improvement project, because even small layout or storage changes can change code requirements.
• We evaluate how new walls, soffits, ceilings, signs, casework, racking, or feature elements affect sprinkler spacing, obstructions, and coverage; add/relocate heads so the modified space still complies with standards.
• We ensure that you have obtained the required fire protection permits and, where applicable, prepare a Tenant Improvement Fire Protection Report that documents scope, code analysis, occupancy, egress, and impacts on sprinklers, alarms, and smoke control.
• We help you clarify responsibilities between base-building owner and tenant for design, installation, and ongoing ITM so no unreviewed “field fixes” or partial modifications degrade the building’s overall fire protection strategy.
