Fire Protection & Fire Suppression Estimating
Wet, dry, pre-action, standpipe, fire pump, clean-agent and kitchen hood suppression takeoffs to NFPA standards referenced by the National Building and Fire Codes, with ULC-listed components.
Technical Takeoff Scope & Engineering Overview
Fire protection bids depend on correct hazard classification (light, ordinary group 1/2, extra hazard, ESFR storage), grooved mains versus threaded branch lines, seismic bracing to NFPA 13, backflow and FDC assemblies, and ULC-listed devices. We include CAN/ULC-S536 and S537 inspection and verification where the specification calls for them.
