Fire & Burglary Protection
Along with many years of design experience, some members of our Fire Protection team have previous experience in fabrication, inspections, and installation of alarm and sprinkler systems. This experience helps produce a more complete design with fewer changes required in the field during construction, moving the project along smoothly with fewer delays and reducing the number of costly change orders during the project.
Our experience includes engineering of sprinkler systems, water storage tanks, fire pump rooms, fire alarm notification and initiation, burglar alarms, and voice evacuation systems. We will stay with you from start to finish, from water supply analysis to final compliance visits.

“Guss Jahchan, AIA, and his team at Benchmark Group, have handled a crucial and important Value-Engineering exercise for one of our corporate stores in Virginia. They had developed and maintained our present corporate prototype, while they were able to point out areas of savings, without jeopardizing the aesthetics or the quality of our store. We at Propelled Brands, have found the Benchmark team to be highly professional while keeping our interest at the forefront of their work. Our plan is to continue to work with Benchmark Group for our architectural and engineering (A&E) needs and recommend them to others that need full professional A&E assistance.
