Mr. Costello's unique experience and perspective are gained from 20 years as a fire protection engineer and code consultant combined with 25 years in the volunteer fire service. Presently licensed as a fire protection engineer in four states, he is versed in fire protection systems evaluation, design, and commissioning, and in the application of construction and fire codes to new and existing buildings.
Mr. Costello works closely with building owners and managers, developers, architects and engineers, attorneys, and code officials to develop innovative, code compliant solutions so that each project is completed successfully. Over the years, he has had the opportunity to work on a wide spectrum of projects in this manner, including governmental, public assembly, pharmaceutical, higher education, residential, hospitality, retail, commercial office, and healthcare facilities. This work has also led to participation in technical committees for the development of major New York City Building Code revisions, and work on three National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) technical committees. With three years as a fire protection practice owner and seven years as office director/manager, Mr. Costello is also experienced in operations management, recruitment, and retention, promoting and improving staff performance, quality control, business development, and growing business relationships with clients and industry peers. |
