If you’re constructing or renovating a commercial building in Florida, there’s one critical step you can’t skip before receiving your Certificate of Occupancy: ensuring that emergency responders can communicate inside the building.

📡 What Is an RF Site Survey?

An RF (Radio Frequency) Site Survey tests how well public safety radio signals travel throughout your building. Stairwells, basements, and elevator shafts often block or weaken these signals—creating dangerous dead zones for first responders.

Florida law now requires most new construction to undergo this testing to determine if signal-boosting equipment—such as a BDA (Bi-Directional Amplifier) or DAS (Distributed Antenna System)—is needed.

🧾 What Florida Statute 633.202 Says (In Plain English)

Florida’s fire prevention code, under Statute 633.202, mandates that:

• All new commercial buildings must be tested for emergency radio coverage.
• If coverage is inadequate, a signal enhancement system (BDA/DAS/ERCES) must be installed before occupancy is granted.
• The system must be installed and maintained by qualified, licensed professionals.

This isn’t just about compliance—it’s about life safety.
