Fireproofing and firestopping estimating services for spray-applied protection, intumescent coatings, penetration seals, joint systems, firestop devices, and related materials. Quantities are based on rated assemblies, penetration details, structural members, and specifications without certifying fire ratings, code compliance, or system design.
Professional Estimating Software We Use
- Trade Scope
Fireproofing & Firestopping Scope We Estimate
Our fireproofing and firestopping scope follows rated assemblies, structural member sizes, penetration and joint conditions, tested-system references, details, schedules, and specifications.
-
Spray-Applied and Intumescent Fireproofing
Structural members, deck, beams, columns, joists, substrates, thickness zones, primers, topcoats, and documented fireproofing systems.
-
Penetration Firestopping
Pipe, conduit, cable, cable tray, duct, mixed-service, blank-opening, sleeve, and documented penetration-seal conditions.
-
Joint and Perimeter Firestopping
Head-of-wall, floor-to-wall, curtain-wall perimeter, construction-joint, edge-of-slab, and documented joint systems.
-
System Counts and Bid Documentation
Quantities by assembly and condition, material allowances, marked plans and details, assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, and pricing support.
Fireproofing & Firestopping Estimating Considerations
- Rated wall and floor plans, penetration details, structural drawings, MEP plans, joint details, tested-system references, and specifications must be coordinated.
- Member size, required thickness, substrate, primer, topcoat, access, overspray protection, penetration type, annular space, and joint movement affect quantities.
- Tested systems, engineering judgments, fire-resistance ratings, inspection, identification labels, patching, existing conditions, and third-party requirements require clear responsibility.
- Pricing depends on material system, thickness, number and variety of conditions, access, lifts, protection, phasing, labor rates, project location, and manufacturer information.

Depending on the drawings and confirmed scope, the estimate may include spray-applied fireproofing, intumescent coatings, primers, topcoats, penetration firestopping, joint systems, perimeter systems, devices, and documented accessories. The quotation will identify the documents reviewed, the coverage included, and any assumptions or exclusions that apply.
Submit rated wall and floor plans, structural plans, MEP plans, penetration and joint details, tested-system references, schedules, specifications, addenda, and inspection requirements. If important information is missing or conflicts across documents, we will identify the issue before or during the estimating work.
Pricing support can be included when requested and supported by the available information. Relevant factors may include material system, thickness, member size, penetration type, joint condition, access, protection, lifts, phasing, labor rates, project location, and manufacturer information. Actual supplier, manufacturer, subcontractor, and purchasing quotations may differ.
Yes. The assignment can be limited to fireproofing only, penetration firestopping, joints, perimeter systems, a floor or area, or another clearly defined passive-fire package. The exact limits, deliverables, and pricing basis are confirmed after the submitted documents are reviewed.
Provide revised rated plans, structural or MEP drawings, penetration schedules, joint details, system references, addenda, and a summary of changed conditions. We will review the effect on completed or in-progress work and confirm any additional fee or delivery adjustment before revising the estimate.
