FIRE ALARM & LIFE SAFETY
SERVICES ACROSS THE GTA
Oak Ridge Building Solutions inspects, tests, repairs and maintains commercial fire alarm and life safety systems across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Our CFAA-certified technicians handle CAN/ULC-S536 annual inspections, monthly inspections, deficiency repairs, panel programming and full system replacements.
The same team designs and installs the systems behind those inspections: detection, suppression, and wet and dry sprinkler, alongside the emergency lighting, exit signage and safety plans that get people out of a building. We are an authorized Mircom distributor and installer, so installation, inspection and repair all come from one contractor.
Oak Ridge is also ULC Listed for CAN/ULC S1001 integrated testing, so the interfaces between those systems are verified and documented as one program rather than trade by trade.
Schedule a fire alarm or life safety inspection
Tell us the building and what is due, and we will come back with a scope and a date. Our call line is open 24/7, so you can always reach us.
FIRE ALARM INSPECTIONS, TESTING AND REPAIRS
One contractor for the inspection, the report and the repair that follows it.
Annual fire alarm inspections
CAN/ULC-S536 annual inspections of the panel, devices, circuits and annunciation, completed against the standard and returned with a report you can hand to your authority having jurisdiction.
Monthly inspections
Scheduled monthly fire alarm inspections that keep the required testing cadence intact between annuals, with records logged so nothing lapses in your compliance file.
Fire alarm system testing
Verification and functional testing of initiating devices, notification appliances, sequences of operation and the building systems the panel interfaces with.
Emergency troubleshooting
A panel in trouble, supervisory or alarm gets diagnosed on site. Our line is staffed 24/7, so a fault reaches us the moment you find it instead of waiting for the office to open.
Deficiency repairs
Deficiencies found on inspection, ours or another contractor's, are quoted and corrected by the same technicians, which removes a second procurement cycle before the file can be closed.
Upgrades and replacements
Panel replacements, device upgrades, programming and staged system retrofits, planned so the building keeps a functioning fire alarm system while the work is underway.
THE SYSTEMS THAT STOP A FIRE
We do not only service fire protection systems. We design and install them. Detection, suppression and sprinkler, engineered as one scope by one licensed contractor.
Detection
Addressable and conventional fire alarm systems designed and installed to detect a fire early and annunciate it correctly, including panel programming and the interfaces to the rest of the building.
Suppression
Fire suppression systems selected for what the space actually holds, installed and maintained so they discharge when needed and stay clear of nuisance activation the rest of the time.
Sprinkler
Wet and dry sprinkler systems, standpipes and hose systems, installed and tested across high-rise, commercial, institutional and industrial buildings throughout the GTA.
Sprinkler servicesTHE SYSTEMS THAT GET PEOPLE OUT
Fire protection equipment stops a fire. Life safety systems get people out, installed, tested and documented by the same licensed contractor that holds the rest of your building.
Emergency lighting
Emergency lighting systems installed, tested and maintained so egress routes stay lit when normal power is lost, with the load and duration testing your inspections call for.
Exit signage
Running man exit signage supplied, installed and verified, including replacement of failed heads and units found during inspection.
Safety plans and protocols
Fire safety plans and life safety protocols prepared and kept current, so the document on the wall matches the systems actually installed in the building.
Preventative maintenance
Scheduled life safety maintenance across emergency lighting, egress and the systems that support them, with web-based reporting you can hand to an inspector or a board.

the-art resources

OFFICIALLY ULC LISTED FOR
INTEGRATED TESTING
Oak Ridge Building Solutions is proud to be officially ULC Listed for CAN/ULC S1001 Integrated Testing.
As buildings become more complex and interconnected, integrated testing is no longer just a best practice. It is becoming an essential part of ensuring life safety systems perform together as designed. Across Ontario, Authorities Having Jurisdiction are placing increased emphasis on CAN/ULC S1001 testing, particularly in the occupancies below.
- High-rise residential
- Long-term care
- Health care
- Other complex occupancies
Oak Ridge is leading the way with a dedicated team of ULC Listed Integrated Test Coordinators (ITCs) serving the Greater Toronto Area. We work directly with building owners, property managers, consultants, engineers and fellow fire protection contractors, providing the expertise required to develop, coordinate, execute and document comprehensive integrated testing programs.
Whether you are looking for a turnkey integrated testing solution or require support as a fire alarm, sprinkler, HVAC, elevator, generator or building automation contractor, Oak Ridge has the experience and certified personnel to help ensure your project meets CAN/ULC S1001 requirements.

One partner.
Complete fire alarm & life safety solutions.
Develop
We build the integrated testing plan around your building’s systems and the interfaces between them, in line with CAN/ULC S1001.
Coordinate
Our ITCs bring owners, property managers, consultants, engineers and every contractor on site to the same schedule.
Execute
Integrated tests are run and witnessed end to end, so life safety systems are verified performing together as designed.
Document
You receive the complete integrated testing report and documentation your authority having jurisdiction requires.
systems that
work together
A fire alarm panel can pass its own inspection and still fail the building. The failures that matter happen at the interfaces: the elevator that does not recall, the fan that does not shut down, the door that does not release.
That is what integrated testing exists to catch, and why it is increasingly the piece an authority having jurisdiction asks for first. We hold the whole scope so those interfaces are verified, not assumed.
CFAA-CERTIFIED
FIRE ALARM TECHNICIANS
Inspection, testing and verification is carried out by CFAA-certified fire alarm technicians, backed by our Canadian Fire Alarm Association membership and our Ontario ECRA/ESA licence.
That matters most on the paperwork. An inspection is only worth what its report is worth, and a report signed by a certified technician is what an inspector, a board or an insurer will accept without a second visit.
