BBS Tech is a privately owned Massachusetts fire alarm and security integrator. We handle both disciplines under one roof. We pre-program and pre-fab in our Stoughton shop before anyone hits the field allowing our installs go cleaner, faster, and with fewer callbacks. We work with developers, GCs, and institutional clients on jobs ranging from 50-device upgrades to 1,000-device new construction. We work with top manufacturers (Edwards/EST, Lenel, Avigilon, Bosch, Hanwha, Aiphone) and we maintain factory certifications because that's what serious work demands.
