Who We Are
Led by Kevin Lynch, PE, Lynch Code Consulting works as an integrated member of the project team, partnering with architects, property owners, educational institutions, developers, general contractors, and jurisdictions to navigate complex code requirements and develop practical, compliant solutions. As life safety experts, we help deliver successful projects across multiple states, occupancies, and building types by providing clear and actionable guidance. Based in Massachusetts, Lynch Code Consulting supports projects throughout the Northeast, with the capability to assist clients across multiple jurisdictions nationwide. Our involvement spans the full project lifecycle, from due diligence and feasibility through design, permitting, construction, and occupancy.
What We Do
Building & Fire Code Consulting
Code consulting for new and existing buildings, supporting project teams through planning, design, permitting, construction, and occupancy. Whether through prescriptive code compliance strategies or performance-based approaches, we help develop practical solutions that support project goals and safe, successful outcomes.
Accessibility Consulting
Accessibility reviews for new construction, renovations, and existing buildings help teams understand and address applicable accessibility requirements. Our on-site evaluations identify barriers to accessibility and help project teams and building owners develop a clear path toward compliance with applicable state, local, and federal standards.
Existing Buildings, Feasibility & Due Diligence
Code requirements can significantly influence decisions related to the purchase, renovation, repair, or maintenance of an existing building. We evaluate existing conditions, potential compliance concerns, anticipated code triggers, and future needs to help owners and project teams understand how applicable state and local requirements may affect a planned investment or project. This early insight supports informed decision-making and helps teams identify potential challenges before work begins.
Third Party Reviews & Peer Reviews
We provide third-party and peer reviews of building, fire, life safety, and accessibility strategies and documentation. We bring an objective perspective to identify potential issues, validate compliance approaches, and give project teams and reviewing authorities greater confidence in the proposed design.
