Background:
A residential property contracted a non-specialized firm to install a **BDA system** for their
building, intending to meet local fire code requirements and ensure reliable emergency
communication. The installation process was completed without following the proper regulations
and guidelines. The system was activated without proper documentation, regulatory permits, or
the necessary inspections.

The problems:
– Lack of Documentation: The system was installed without providing a detailed design and
as-built documentation. This oversight left the building owner and local authorities without the
necessary records to verify that the installation met safety codes.
– No Permits or Inspections: The company failed to obtain the required permits from local
authorities or schedule the necessary inspections. This put the building at risk of
non-compliance with fire and safety regulations.
– Increased Costs: The building owner had to pay for a full **reinstallation** of the system,
including the cost of permits, inspections, and system reconfiguration to meet code
requirements. The original installation was considered non-compliant and inadequate, leading to
delays in the project and frustration for all parties involved.
