From a single grid test to a full design-build, Zion runs every part of the ERCES lifecycle in-house — under one Texas license, one design platform, one accountable team.
We track IFC adoption and amendments across 260+ Texas jurisdictions, from Dallas to Houston to El Paso to the Rio Grande Valley. The same database powers our internal estimates and the public-facing Building Signal Check tool — with confidence ratings on every record.
Predictable, scheduled, AHJ-ready annual signal-survey testing. PCTEL-instrumented grid testing, deficiency reports, and Fire Marshal submittals — turnkey.
iBwave-certified design, UL 2524 BDA installation, and AHJ acceptance — sequenced so your CO doesn't slip. We close ERCES permits fast.
Fire alarm, sprinkler, special hazards, and BDA from one Texas-licensed contractor. One submittal, one inspection coordination, one accountable partner.
PCTEL-instrumented signal surveys per IFC §510.5.3. Pre-installation baseline or annual recertification.
iBwave-certified DAS layouts, antenna/cable schedules, AHJ frequency authorization, plan submittal.
UL 2524 listed BDAs (RSI / Honeywell / Fiplex), distributed antennas, fire-rated pathway, NEMA enclosures, full grounding.
Acceptance testing, AHJ submittal, monitoring integration, and annual recertification on a recurring schedule.
Joel Sadowsky founded Zion to solve a specific problem: building owners deserve a single Texas-licensed contractor who can run fire alarm, sprinkler, special hazards, and ERCES from one shop — without bouncing between subs and AHJs. The BDA / ERCES division is the newest pillar of that promise.
Zion's BDA / ERCES practice runs on a vetted stack — authorized OEM dealerships, certified design and test platforms, and active membership in the bodies that write the codes we work to.
