Intumescent Takeoff Passive Fire Protection

Intumescent Coating Estimator:
Steel & Timber Loading Schedule


For approved intumescent applicators, coating suppliers and engineers who need scope accuracy and traceability from drawings through to DFT sign-off.


We convert structural drawings into a measured take-off and a structured loading schedule that’s ready to send to the intumescent manufacturer for WFT/DFT calculations.


We measure and schedule by level/zone & member type (beams, columns, portals, struts, bracing, plates etc) that includes side exposures and surface areas so the supplier/engineer can extend WFT (application thickness) and DFT (testing requirement) into total litres for pricing.


Revision-friendly: any updated drawing sets that are issued can be easily re-measured with a clear delta-summary that allows pricing any contract variations with the least amount of hassle.


Email your plans and we’ll confirm a fixed fee and turnaround timeframes today.

FAQ

Can you format the take-off into a supplier-ready loading schedule (member-by-member)?

Yes. We can structure schedules by member mark/type, FRR/zone (where provided), sides/exposure, and measured surface area so manufacturers/engineers can extend WFT/DFT requirements without rework.

Can you separate steel vs timber and split by stages (shop-applied vs site-applied)?

Yes. We can package the schedule by material (steel/timber), building area/level, and application stage so procurement, programme, and access constraints are easier to manage.

Do you measure by sides/exposure and account for member configuration (UB/UC/SHS/RHS/CHS, plates)?

Yes. We measure to the drawing intent and schedule by member type/configuration with clear “sides to coat” assumptions so pricing and film-build requirements align to the actual exposure condition.

How does your schedule support QA (DFT testing) and close-out documentation?

We keep traceability from drawings through take-off to loading schedule so members can be cross-referenced during application. That makes it easier to plan QA sampling, track film build against required DFT, and compile supporting documentation for independent verification.
