Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our firestopping estimating services.
1. What is included in a firestopping estimate? expand_more
A firestopping estimate includes counts of all MEP penetrations, linear feet of fire-rated joints, quantities of firestop caulk/collars/pillows, and labor hours.
2. How much do firestopping estimating services cost? expand_more
Pricing is based on the complexity of the MEP and life safety plans. Custom quotes typically start around $200.
3. How long does a firestopping takeoff take? expand_more
Most firestopping 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 firestop materials and specialized labor rates specifically for Alabama cities.
5. How do you find all the penetrations? expand_more
We overlay the architectural life safety plans (showing fire-rated walls) with the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans to pinpoint exactly where utilities cross rated assemblies.
6. Can you estimate head-of-wall (HOW) joints? expand_more
Absolutely. We measure the linear footage of all fire-rated partitions to calculate the required firestop spray or caulk for the head-of-wall joints.
7. What software do you use for estimating? expand_more
We use PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu, which allow us to overlay multiple plan types and color-code different penetration types.
8. Do you estimate edge-of-slab firestopping? expand_more
Yes. We calculate the linear footage of perimeter fire containment required between the floor slab and exterior curtain wall.
9. Are electrical putty pads included? expand_more
Yes. We count electrical boxes located in fire-rated walls that require intumescent putty pads to maintain the wall's rating.
10. Do you specify the UL systems? expand_more
We provide material quantities and labor estimates based on standard industry practices or the specific UL systems detailed by the architect in the project manual.
