S ince its inception in 1989, Absolute Fire Protection has served the community through values of customer-bias, trust, respect and commitment. The company designs, installs, services and maintains fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems, working with residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout Maryland, Washington D.C. and Delaware. “We work harmoniously with many other players. Every good construction project is a team effort,” explained Daniel Mathias, Branch Manager at Absolute Fire Protection. They also participate in middle, high school and college career days to encourage young people who want to pursue a career path in construction trades.
“We believe in the strengths of personal interaction and collaboration,” said Larry Cate, Branch Manager at Absolute, “There is no substitute for being there!” As such, Absolute Fire Protection’s physical space contains two conference rooms, well-designed offices, warehouse areas, and a multipurpose area that serves as a lunchroom/training area. Cate explained that they came to St. John Properties with a goal of finding a space that would attract and retain the best people in the industry. “We have great common areas, as well as a gym / collaboration area, which shows our commitment to employees’ health and well-being – work hard, play hard and most of all, stay healthy – the gym plays a crucial part in that! “The opportunities to better serve our clients and employees are amazing,
St. John Properties really understood our vision and direction, and were instrumental in helping us achieve these goals.” The organization employs a total of 100 people, with 25 working in the office full-time. Employees range in job duties and include engineers, sales representatives, administrative, project management, accounting, warehouse personnel, and more. Mathias quipped that Absolute Fire Protection is truly “the land of opportunity.” To further these opportunities and allow avenues for continued growth, Absolute has Partnered with Pye-Barker Fire and Safety as of this past February. Pye-Barker is the leader in fully integrated life safety systems, with over 200 locations nationwide.
St. John Properties was instrumental in helping the organization with design and finish selections, including accommodating custom features in the office spaces – clerestories above the offices to let natural light into the interior of the building. “They [St. John Properties] are very responsive to our needs and maintain the facilities to the highest standards.” “We have worked for and with St. John Properties for over 30 years, and we consider them to be the
best in the business.” –Daniel Mathias, Branch Manager, Absolute Fire Protection Inc.
