Building Security Assessment & Planning in Chicago
Welcome to Forbel
If you manage a building in Chicago, your security plan needs to do more than look good on paper. Our building security assessment is built to uncover risks that others miss. We don’t guess — we inspect, document, and build a strategy that actually protects your people, property, and systems. At Forbel, we bring clarity to what needs fixing and how to fix it.
Security Systems We Thoroughly Assess
We don’t believe in surface-level reviews. Our team takes a full inventory of your building’s security, from the entry points to the emergency exits, and looks for weaknesses you need to know about.
Video Surveillance
We check camera locations, blind spots, resolution quality, and storage capacity so your system records what matters, when it matters.
Electronic Access Control
We review doors, access cards, credentials, and visitor handling to make sure only the right people get in — and stay in the right places.
Intrusion Detection
We evaluate sensor coverage, alert systems, emergency response, and overall reliability so your building doesn’t get caught off guard.
Fire Alarms
We confirm alarm coverage, linkages to emergency response, inspection routines, and compliance with Chicago’s local codes.
Intercoms & Door Entry
We test how well your intercoms work, how they connect to your other systems, and how easily staff can communicate with and screen visitors.
Why Choose Forbel?
We’ve been doing this work across Chicago for more than a decade. We know the codes, the challenges, and what it takes to protect buildings here.
We go beyond the basics. Our assessments cover physical access, internal risks, and system integration — nothing gets skipped.

You’ll get a clear, step-by-step report that prioritizes your most important fixes without wasting time or money.
We work with top security manufacturers whose products are proven to perform. Every brand we recommend has been tested in the field and selected for its reliability, not just its label.
