The foundation for the construction divisions at Fire Systems West, Inc. is the design-build/team build concept. A team effort by the owner, design professionals, and the contractor will result in a successful project. The secret starts with project management. It can be summed up in simple terms… on time and on budget. The design-build concept for fire protection requires that the team give the customer a complete fire protection system that will meet, or exceed, the National Fire Protection Association standards, the International Building Code, and the local Fire Department requirements. Design may also include conforming to the owner’s insurance underwriter requirements as well.
We encourage you to have our involvement in the very early stages of your projects. Many customers request our services at very start of the job for budgeting, consultation, and conceptual design.
Fire Systems West is a full-scale company that takes the guess work out of protection. We help handle all of your service needs in addition to providing the best in class products for your fire safety.

Our success is based on providing customers with a positive experience. We work with to ensure that your fire systems are working properly even after installation. System reliability continues to be our number one priority.
I have worked with Fire Systems West for two years at a commercial property we manage in Redmond. They have great response time to service calls and their Alarm Service Manager, Jerry, was instrumental in diagnosing and fixing an ongoing issue. Their technicians are responsible and friendly and work hard to get the job done on time. In general, they have been great to work with and I would definitely recommend their services.
I wanted to take this time to thank you all (please forward to Jason and Walter) for the outstanding work and professionalism your teams exhibited leading up to and during the Marriott Hotel inspections. The Marriott Inspector indicated multiple times that this was one of the best prepared and professional jobs he had tested in years. To walk away with only (3) punchlist items is relatively unheard of and that was a direct result of your hard work and expertise. We as GCs do a great job of informing you when something is wrong but a very poor job of congratulating you when things go well. For that I apologize and again, thank you for your hard work and being an extremely valued partner. If your companies ever are in need of a reference, I would be happy to provide one.
Job well done!!

As a Superintendent with one of the largest General Contractors in the Nation, I feel compelled to say that Fire Systems West is honestly the BEST Fire Protection Contractor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Their dedication to safety, quality, and cost control is what sets them aside from all the rest. I’ve contracted with them for design build, bid build, and conceptual pricing on projects ranging from a thousand dollars to multi-million dollar projects and the results are always the same. Because of this I will continue contracting with them for as long as there is a need for Fire Protection within this industry.

Fire Systems West has been my privilege to have as my Fire Sprinkler and Fire Alarm vendor for the sixteen years that I've been associated with you. I've either been the Chief Engineer or Building Engineer of Electric Lightwave Building, West Coast Bank Building (now the Columbia Bank Building), and the Vancouvercenter North Office Tower Building. We have had you in our buildings performing annual fire inspections, sprinkler pipe fitting repairs, fire extinguisher services, backflow testing/repair, and straight out maintenance on our equipment. I've been expertly and professionally taken care to above my satisfaction and would highly recommend you to anyone. You contact me in advance of when your coming to do scheduled service or a repair, you show up efficiently on time, and the quality of work is outstanding. I have been able to have copies of tests done or corrections to the City of Vancouver Fire Department and no questions were asked.
Please don't change a thing and let your reputation take care of the rest.

I have partnered with Fire Systems West over the past 10 years at multiple office and industrial properties. During this time they have been my go to vendor for Fire Sprinkler testing, Fire Alarm equipment, and Fire alarm monitoring. At all property types, they have provided cost saving suggestions and solutions, ensuring the safety of the property. Through their knowledge, FSW has helped in controlling, and in many instances reducing, operating costs. I highly recommend the Fire Systems West team to my clients and colleagues.
