Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our fireproofing estimating services.
1. What is included in a fireproofing estimate? expand_more
A fireproofing estimate includes total steel surface area, required thickness based on UL ratings, total bags of SFRM (or gallons of intumescent), lath, and labor hours.
2. How much do fireproofing estimating services cost? expand_more
Pricing is based on the complexity of the structural steel plans. Standard commercial fireproofing takeoffs start around $200.
3. How long does a fireproofing takeoff take? expand_more
Most fireproofing estimates are completed within 24 to 48 hours.
4. Do you adjust prices for the Alabama market? expand_more
Yes. We use RSMeans to adjust the costs of fireproofing materials and specialized labor rates specifically for Alabama cities.
5. How do you calculate SFRM requirements? expand_more
We calculate the surface area of the steel members, determine the required thickness based on the specified UL design (and W/D ratio), and convert that volume into bags of material.
6. Can you estimate intumescent paint? expand_more
Absolutely. We calculate the exact surface area of exposed steel and divide by the manufacturer's spread rate to determine required gallons of intumescent coating.
7. What software do you use for estimating? expand_more
We use PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu to accurately measure steel lengths and deck areas from structural plans.
8. Do you account for metal lath? expand_more
Yes. If the steel member size requires mechanical fastening (lath) prior to spraying, we will include the square footage of lath required.
9. Are floor and wall penetrations included? expand_more
We estimate firestopping for MEP penetrations as a separate line item or scope if requested by the contractor.
10. Do you provide estimates for fire-rated drywall? expand_more
If the project utilizes gypsum board encasement for fireproofing instead of spray, we will provide a drywall takeoff for those specific assemblies.
