Most electrical contractors leave fire alarm scopes on the table because the licensing, NICET certification, and AHJ relationships take years to build. Armorstack is the partner that already has all of it — and stays behind your brand on every job.
The parts and the smarts — under your name.
Four functions, one accountable partner, white-labeled to your brand on the customer-facing side.
Equipment Supply — “The Parts”
UL-listed panels, detectors, notification appliances, and pull stations — sourced to NFPA 72 Ch. 18/21 and NEC §760.3, zone-staged and delivered on your schedule.
Design & AHJ Submittal — “The Smarts”
NFPA 72-compliant floor plans, device placement, pathway class designations, riser diagrams, battery calcs, and submittal package — plan review tracked and coordinated.
Acceptance Testing & AHJ Sign-Off
Full NFPA 72 Ch. 14 testing — 100% device verification, audibility per §18.4.3, visual candela per Table 18.5, record of completion, AHJ walk-through. You get the certificate of occupancy.
24/7 Managed Monitoring
UL-listed central station per NFPA 72 Ch. 26. Annual §14.3 ITM auto-scheduled and documented. Converges with the CITADEL SOC for unified physical security visibility.
From plans to certificate of occupancy
Six steps. Your crew installs. Our specialists handle the code.
Scope & Quote — 48hr, Free
Send us the plans. We cross-reference occupancy group and load against IBC §907.2, then return a code-mapped equipment list and ROM pricing — no cost to bid.
NFPA 72 Design & AHJ Submittal
Device placement per §17.7, candela/dB per Table 18.5, pathway classes per Ch. 10 — full submittal package prepared and plan review tracked by us.
Equipment Delivered & Staged
All devices UL-listed per §760.3. PLFA/NPLFA cable per §760.46 and §760.130 — plenum-rated where required by §300.22.
Installation Oversight
Your crew installs. Our techs verify circuit pathway, integrity, and fire safety interfaces. Scheduled PM field visits. Direct PM Q&A communication.
Panel Terminations & Programming
Completed by manufacturer- and NICET-certified technicians. Point-mapping reviewed against the approved submittal.
Ch. 14 Acceptance & CO
100% device initiation, audibility, visual verification, control unit test, central station signals per Ch. 26 — full AHJ record of completion package delivered. Customer training provided. Certificate of occupancy delivered.
Our domain. Your protection.
The code we operate against, every day, on every project. Plan reviewers see the section numbers. Insurance carriers approve the submittals. Electrical contractors collect the margin.

A partner, not a sub.
Subs disappear once the job is bonded. Armorstack stays accountable through acceptance, monitoring, annual ITM, and any callbacks. Your customer never knows we’re the ones holding the license — they just know the system passed inspection.
