How to choose a reliable company for the installation of fire systems

1. Availability of a license from the Ministry of Emergency Situations

One of the main signs of the legality of the company’s work is the availability of a valid license from the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the installation, maintenance and repair of fire safety equipment for buildings and structures. Without such a license, the organization has no right to carry out work on the installation of fire alarms, warning systems, fire extinguishing and other components.

Recommendation: Check the availability of the license through the open registry of the Ministry of Emergency Situations or request a copy from the contractor.

2. Work experience and specialization

Reliable contractors have significant experience in the field of fire safety, rather than engaging in it “along the way” with other types of engineering work.

What is important to consider:

• How long has the company been on the market?
• Are there any implemented objects that are similar in scale and type to yours?
• Are there any positive reviews from previous customers?

Recommendation: Request a portfolio and a list of completed objects. Pay attention to the facilities in your industry — warehouse, office, production, etc.

3. In-house designers and engineers

Companies that employ qualified designers, engineers and installers can not only install the system, but also competently design it taking into account the requirements of the joint venture, GOST and Laws.

Recommendation: Specify who is developing the project, carrying out installation and commissioning — your own specialists or subcontractors.

4. Transparent contract and estimate

The responsible organization always works under an official contract with clearly defined terms, deadlines, scope of work and warranty. The estimate should make it clear what exactly you are paying for — the cost of equipment, installation work, commissioning, commissioning, etc.

Recommendation: Avoid contractors offering “turnkey everything without documents” or without cost breakdown.

5. Warranty and follow-up service

A reliable contractor provides a guarantee not only for the equipment, but also for the work performed, and also offers a contract for subsequent maintenance.

Recommendation: Pay attention to the warranty period and the possibility of concluding a long-term service agreement.

6. Knowledge of current regulations

The field of fire safety is strictly regulated by law. The contractor must be aware of the latest changes in:

• rulebooks;
• Technical regulations on fire safety requirements;
• Resolutions of the Government and the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Recommendation: Ask the contractor clarifying questions about how he takes these standards into account in his work, and who is responsible for compliance with design decisions.

The documents, reputation, and professional approach of the contractor should be carefully checked. Only in this case, you can be sure that the system will work properly, and the facility will successfully pass all inspections by the supervisory authorities.
