Fire and life safety technology leaders partner to streamline inspection reporting, reducing manual steps and improving visibility for facilities and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs).

SUWANEE, GA, and POCATELLO, ID — January 14, 2026 — BuildingReports, the leading provider of technology-enabled fire and life safety inspection solutions, is proud to announce a new integration partnership with LIV, an industry-leading provider of prevention inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) compliance software for AHJs. The integration makes inspection reporting seamless for service companies, facilities, and the fire prevention bureaus, municipalities, and regulatory agencies that depend on reliable compliance data.

Through this integration, inspection data captured in BuildingReports flows directly into the LIV compliance platform, eliminating duplication and ensuring that all stakeholders have easier access to the reports they need. By centralizing reporting, service companies can reduce administrative workload and focus more on customer service and safety.

This integration partnership delivers:
● Streamlined compliance – Reports submitted once through BuildingReports can be accessed directly in LIV for AHJ review
● Greater transparency – AHJs and facility managers see consistent, reliable inspection results without extra effort.
● Included at no cost for members – All BuildingReports members automatically receive access to the LIV integration at no additional charge, ensuring every user can benefit from simplified reporting and improved connectivity.
● Improved efficiency – Fewer manual uploads and reduced back-and-forth between inspection firms, facilities, and AHJs, enabling faster follow-up on deficiencies.

“The LIV integration marks another milestone in our mission to give members tools that make inspections smarter, faster, and more reliable,” said Jason Kronz, CEO/CTO, BuildingReports. “By connecting LIV with BuildingReports, we’re helping service providers strengthen community resilience and ensure safer buildings for everyone who depends on them.”

“Our partnership with BuildingReports reflects a shared mission to simplify fire and life safety compliance through innovation and connectivity,” said Chase Norton, CTO of LIV. “By enabling inspection data to flow seamlessly between our platforms, we’re eliminating barriers, reducing redundant work, and empowering fire departments and service providers to focus on what matters most, keeping communities safe.”

This collaboration addresses shared customer feedback to reduce the administrative burden and connect inspection data with compliance tools to improve data quality across ITM workflows. It represents another important step toward removing barriers, streamlining workflows, and ensuring stronger compliance outcomes for all parties involved.

BuildingReports is committed to continuing its work with trusted partners like LIV to enhance safety, efficiency, and transparency across the industry.
