For fire protection contractors and main contractors pricing commercial, industrial, multi-level car parking, healthcare and multi-unit residential projects across New Zealand.
We convert fire services drawings into detailed fire services quantity takeoffs so you can quote faster with accurate and clearly documented scope for both active & passive fire protection.
We break out the fire services scope by level/floor, zone and system including sprinkler pipework and heads, hydrant and hose reel pipework, booster assemblies, fire pumps, detectors, sounders, panels, EWIS/ancillary equipment and nominated passive fire penetrations and fire-stopping items. Quantities are structured in line with NZIQS & ANZSMM 2022 so your fire package is presented and understood in a logical format.
Pipework and equipment are scheduled in LM and item counts with notes on pipe sizes, hazard categories, valve sets, zoning, detector types and device locations so each line of the estimate can be priced accurately. Where fire services interface with hydraulic, mechanical or electrical services, we flag the crossover so nothing falls through the cracks between trades.
When drawings change, we re-measure and issue an additions/omissions summary for quick re-pricing and variation support, instead of rebuilding the estimate from scratch each time.
Email your plans and we’ll confirm a fixed fee & turnaround time for the project takeoff.
FAQ
Which fire protection systems are included in a fire services takeoff?
Active and passive fire protection systems shown on the design, including sprinkler pipework and heads, hydrant and hose reel pipework, valves and boosters, pumps, detectors and alarms, EWIS/ancillary equipment, plus key passive fire-penetrations and fire-stopping quantities where detailed. Each system is separated so you can apply rates accurately.
What information do you need for a fire services quantity takeoff?
The fire report, fire services drawings, relevant hydraulic services layouts and architectural plans for passive fire. With that, we quantify pipework, fittings, heads, valves, devices + key fire-stopping items and highlight any ambiguous details.
Does a fire services takeoff cover New Zealand code and NZS standard requirements?
Compliance is set by your fire engineer, designer, NZ Building Code (C clauses) and relevant NZS standards. Our role is to measure the quantities from the issued fire services drawings and fire report so your pricing aligns with the documented design intent that has been prepared to meet NZ standards.
How does a fire services takeoff help with tendering and variation claims?
When the design changes, we can re-measure and issue an additions/omissions summary, making it much easier to demonstrate the impact on quantities and to price variations.
