A fire alarm panel that seemed fine in a steady, unchanged building can start showing its age the moment walls move, suites combine, tenant layouts shift, or a remodel triggers permit review. In Colorado, and especially along the Front Range, that question tends to come up during tenant improvements, office reconfigurations, retail remodels, light industrial updates, and common area renovations.
