DAS / BDA Compliance Consulting · Florida & the Southeast
Your Partner in Building Compliance
Florida law requires in-building public safety radio coverage in most new and renovated commercial buildings. We help owners, developers, and contractors meet that requirement — on time, without surprises.
What Florida Requires
F.S. 633.202
The Statute
Florida law mandates that most new commercial buildings provide adequate radio coverage for first responders throughout the structure.
Jan 1, 2025
Enforcement Deadline
Enforcement of the updated code requirements took effect January 1, 2025. Projects permitted after this date must comply.
Before Your CO
When It's Required
Radio coverage compliance must be demonstrated and approved before a Certificate of Occupancy is issued.
Why It Matters
Many parties, one requirement
Architects, engineers, contractors, AHJs, and carriers all have a role. Without a coordinator, critical steps fall through the cracks — and the building owner pays the price.
Every jurisdiction is different
Each county and municipality interprets the code differently. What passed in Orange County may not pass in Hillsborough. Local knowledge isn't optional — it's essential.
Late surprises cost the most
A failed radio coverage test discovered at CO can delay opening by weeks or months. Early assessment and coordination is far less expensive than emergency remediation.
How We Work
Assess Early
We review your plans and site conditions before construction begins to identify coverage gaps and compliance requirements specific to your jurisdiction.
Assemble the Team
We help you identify and coordinate the right DAS/BDA installer, RF engineer, and AHJ contacts — so everyone is aligned from the start.
Keep It Moving
We track submittals, inspections, and approvals throughout construction — keeping the compliance path clear so your schedule stays intact.
Clear to Open
We coordinate the final radio coverage test and documentation so your CO isn't held up by a last-minute compliance issue.
How We Help
Assessment
Compliance Assessment
A thorough review of your project's radio coverage obligations — code requirements, AHJ expectations, and what it will take to pass.
Coordination
Project Coordination
End-to-end management of the DAS/BDA compliance process from design through final test — keeping all parties aligned and on schedule.
Recovery
Failed-Test Recovery
If your building has already failed a radio coverage test, we diagnose the problem, coordinate the fix, and get you back on track for CO.
Retainer
Portfolio Retainer
For developers and property managers with multiple buildings, we offer ongoing retainer services to keep your entire portfolio in compliance.
Why Owners Choose Beacon
Independent
We don't sell or install equipment. Our only interest is getting your building compliant — not steering you toward a particular vendor.
Local Know-How
We know Florida's AHJs, their quirks, and what they actually require — not just what the code says on paper.
Apples-to-Apples Bids
We help you scope the work correctly so contractor bids are comparable — and you're not surprised by change orders later.
Early Plain Answers
We give you straight answers early — before you're committed to a design or schedule that makes compliance harder.
