INSPECTION SERVICES
Inspections for existing
facilities and new construction.
Start with the type of work in front of you. We’ll confirm the applicable openings, site access, schedule, and reporting scope before the inspection.
ANNUAL & PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
Recurring inspections for occupied facilities.
For healthcare, senior living, education, hospitality, and commercial facilities. Applicable fire and smoke door assemblies are evaluated, with observed findings documented by opening.
- Annual and scheduled inspection programs
- Door-by-door findings and deficiency records
- Documentation for maintenance and follow-up
ACCEPTANCE & NEW CONSTRUCTION
Inspections before project turnover.
For contractors, developers, and project teams. Newly installed assemblies are evaluated, with observed deficiencies documented before project closeout.
- Review of newly installed door assemblies
- Deficiencies documented before closeout
- Reporting for corrections and AHJ coordination
FIRE DOOR FIELD LABELING
A missing label doesn't
always mean
replacing the opening.
AES coordinates accredited fire-door field-labeling evaluations. When a fire or smoke door or frame has a missing, damaged, painted-over or incorrect label—or has been modified in the field—we help coordinate the appropriate evaluation and next steps.
Field-labeling evaluations are provided through an accredited evaluation process.
- Missing, removed or painted-over labels
- Incorrect labels or field-modified openings
- Written deficiencies and correction requirements
- Accredited field label applied when the opening qualifies
- Issue identified
- Evaluation coordinated
- Label applied if eligible
Eligibility is determined through evaluation. Not every opening qualifies for a field label.
