What is included in an fireproofing estimate?

An accurate fireproofing estimate typically includes detailed material takeoffs, labor hours, equipment costs, subcontractor quotes (if applicable), and overhead/profit recommendations tailored to the project scope.

How much do fireproofing estimating services cost?

The cost depends on the complexity and scope of the project. We offer customized quotes starting around $200 for smaller projects, ensuring you only pay for what you need.

How long does it take to get an fireproofing takeoff?

Our standard turnaround time is 24 to 48 hours for most residential and commercial projects. Larger industrial projects may take slightly longer, but we always meet your bid deadlines.

Do you provide zip-code specific pricing for Arizona?

Yes. We use the RSMeans database combined with our localized market knowledge to adjust material costs and labor rates specifically for Arizona cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau.

What file formats do you need to perform an estimate?

We accept blueprints and drawings in PDF, CAD, TIFF, and other standard formats. You can securely upload them via email, Dropbox, or our online portal.

Are your estimators certified and experienced?

Our team consists of seasoned estimators with years of hands-on field experience and deep knowledge of ACI standards and applicable local requirements.

How accurate are your fireproofing takeoffs?

We focus on high accuracy by using industry-leading software like PlanSwift and Bluebeam, coupled with a rigorous multi-step quality assurance review before delivery.

Do you estimate for both residential and commercial projects?

Yes. We cover the full spectrum of fireproofing projects, from single-family homes and multi-family units to large-scale commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities.

Can I submit your estimates directly to general contractors?

Yes. Our estimates are professionally formatted and bid-ready. We provide organized, easy-to-read Excel sheets that you can directly submit to GCs, architects, or owners.

What if there are changes or addendums to the plans?

We offer ongoing support throughout the bidding process. If a new addendum is released, we can quickly revise your takeoff and adjust the costs accordingly to ensure your bid stays competitive.

Arizona Fireproofing Estimating & Takeoffs

Arizona specialty contractors bidding on structural steel protection require exacting precision in their Fireproofing Estimating. Whether bidding on a high-rise office tower in downtown Phoenix or an industrial facility in Mesa, our takeoff services provide the precise board footage and spray volume needed for a competitive bid.

We deliver meticulous takeoffs for Spray-Applied Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRM) and intumescent paint coatings. Our estimators analyze the structural steel drawings to calculate the exact surface area of every column, beam, and joist requiring protection based on the architect's UL design specifications.

Commercial fireproofing in Arizona demands adherence strictly to IBC codes and UL fire-resistance ratings. We factor in the specific thickness required for 1-hour, 2-hour, or 3-hour ratings, applying correct material waste factors for overspray and the high labor costs associated with scaffolding and masking.

Stop losing money on underestimated material yields. We supply you with organized spreadsheets that break down board footage by member size, empowering you to order cementitious or intumescent materials with absolute precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our fireproofing estimating services.

1. How do you calculate the required thickness for SFRM?

We use the specific W/D (Weight to Heated Perimeter) ratios of the steel members combined with the architect's UL design number to determine the exact thickness required to achieve the specified 1, 2, or 3-hour rating.

2. Do you account for overspray waste?

Yes. Spray-applied fireproofing typically has a waste factor of 15% to 30% depending on the size of the steel (smaller joists waste more material). We apply industry-standard waste factors to ensure you order enough bags.

3. Can you estimate intumescent paint systems?

Absolutely. We calculate the surface area for exposed architectural steel and determine the required dry film thickness (mils), factoring in the high material costs and multiple coats required for intumescent paints.

4. Do you include masking and cleanup in the labor?

Yes. Site preparation is a massive part of fireproofing. We include labor hours and material costs for wrapping adjacent structures, tarping floors, and the scraping/cleanup required after the spray operation.

5. What plans do you need for a fireproofing takeoff?

We need the structural steel drawings (for member sizes), the architectural plans (for fire-rating plans and UL design specs), and the project specifications manual.
