Fireproofing Estimating Services

Spray, intumescent and penetration firestopping quantified against structural steel, walls and floor assemblies, rated thickness by rated thickness. You get the fireproofing numbers in an editable workbook with a marked-up plan set behind every line, usually within 24 to 48.

Fireproofing estimating

Rated assemblies quantified to the assembly

Fireproofing takeoffs live or die on detail: the rating required, the thickness specified, and the exact structural member, beam, column, wall or floor assembly, each item applies to. Miss any one of those and the bid is either padded with contingency or exposed to risk.

Our estimators work through the drawings and life-safety specifications item by item, recording the rating, material and thickness against each structural element before totalling quantities, so the resulting takeoff reads as a true reflection of the fire-rating strategy rather than a rough allowance.

We quantify spray-applied and intumescent fireproofing, penetration firestopping, smoke barriers and the full range of fire-rated boards and cladding materials, priced with current zip-code based labour and material rates.

Method

Our method on fireproofing packages

01We review structural drawings and the life-safety specification to identify rated assemblies
02Each beam, column, wall and floor assembly is measured and matched to its required rating
03Material thickness and type are recorded against every line item
04Pricing is applied through RSMeans and our own zip-code based cost database
05A senior estimator reviews ratings and quantities before delivery
