High-Rise Buildings support in Oregon

High-rise buildings present unique ERRCS challenges due to vertical coverage requirements, elevator shafts, stairwells, and the natural attenuation of radio signals through multiple floors. Fire codes specifically target high-rises because firefighters may need to communicate between the lobby, fire command center, and upper floors during emergencies. Most jurisdictions define high-rises as buildings over 75 feet, though some use lower thresholds.

BDA Systems supports owners, contractors, and technical teams throughout Oregon. We align project scope with local AHJ expectations, adopted code language, and the practical realities of getting from failed testing to final approval.
