    Stop Bleeding Margin on Blanket Assumptions and Missed Penetrations

    Bleeding margins often start at the conceptual phase when estimators rely on blanket thickness assumptions rather than verifying specific UL-listed assemblies and member sizes. Here is how our professional estimating team eliminates early-stage risks and protects your capital:

    The Bidding Headache

    Blanket Thickness Assumptions

    Applying a single thickness across every column wastes material on over-protected members or leaves lighter columns dangerously under-protected relative to code.

    Missed MEP Penetrations

    Overlooking complex pipe, duct, and cable penetrations leaves your team absorbing the cost of expensive fire-rated sealants and collars out of pocket.

    Ignoring Overspray & Touch-ups

    Failing to account for material lost to overspray or damage caused by other trades working around the exposed steel drains your material budget.

    High Preconstruction Overhead

    Paying full-time estimators to manually cross-check hundreds of structural beams against NFPA and IBC codebooks drains your cash flow.

    The Turner Solution

    Member-by-Member W/D Checks

    We identify each column's weight-to-heated-perimeter (W/D) ratio and match it against the UL-listed assembly table to apply the exact required thickness.

    Exact Penetration Counts

    We execute a meticulous fire stop takeoff that captures and itemizes every single penetration by opening count and required UL system type.

    Built-In Overspray Allowances

    We accurately calculate overspray margins and include specific touch-up allowances for steel exposed after other trades complete their adjacent work.

    Scalable Flat-Fee Support

    Our pay-per-project model cuts your fixed overhead by up to 60%, delivering elite UL rated assembly estimating data precisely when you need it.

    Preventing Cost Overruns

    Early identification of complex structural details, varying W/D ratios, and extensive MEP penetrations is the single best way to protect your bottom line. By developing a structured takeoff that catches these intricate design elements before procurement begins, you insulate your project from material shortages, unexpected field delays, and unbudgeted labor hours.

    Comprehensive Estimating Scope

    We measure and price the full Division 07 fire and smoke protection scope, ensuring every life-safety element is accounted for. We break down the specific sub-trades and services offered within this division:

    Structural Steel Fireproofing

    Spray-applied fire resistive materials (SFRM), intumescent coatings (IFRM), and rigid board protection for beams, columns, and joists.

    Firestopping Systems

    Penetration sealants, fire collars, intumescent wraps, and fire pillows for MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) openings.

    Fire-Rated Assemblies

    Wall partitions, floor/ceiling assemblies, shaft enclosures, and garage separations.

    Joint Firestopping

    Construction joints, perimeter fire containment (curtain walls), and expansion joint seals.

    Specialty Insulation

    Mineral wool, fire-retardant treated wood, fiberglass, and cellulose insulation.

    Smoke Containment & Air Barrier Systems

    Complete surface and linear measurements for smoke dampers, smoke seals, draftstopping, and continuous air/vapor barrier assemblies to limit smoke and toxic gas migration.

    Fire-Resistive Board & Duct Enclosures

    Detailed material takeoffs for silicate, calcium silicate, and ceramic board wrapping on grease ducts, commercial kitchen exhaust, ventilation shafts, and structural steel members requiring high-durability protection.

    Surface Preparation & Priming for Fireproofing

    Accurate labor and coating calculations for surface cleaning, rust-inhibiting primers, bonding agents, substrate moisture testing, and protective topcoats required for SFRM and IFRM adhesion.

    The Master Takeoff Element Catalog

    Our professional estimators dive deeply into your structural drawings, architectural plans, and life-safety schedules to ensure absolutely nothing is overlooked. We categorize and project every major component under strictly dedicated sub-headings so you know exactly where your budget is being allocated.

    Structural Steel Fireproofing

    We calculate the structural member surface area (SF) requiring spray-applied fireproofing by specific member type. We cross-check the required thickness by fire rating (1-hr, 2-hr, 3-hr) against the specific UL assembly listed. By utilizing the member-by-member W/D ratio, we convert the required thickness and surface area into highly accurate material volumes (bags or material units).

    Firestopping & Penetration Seals

    Firestopping protects the pathways inside a building. We meticulously count and categorize every pipe, duct, and cable penetration that cuts through fire-rated walls and floors. We extract exact quantities for fire caulking, sealants, collars, and pillows, matching them directly to the required UL system number to ensure smoke and flames are successfully contained.

    Intumescent Paints & Coatings

    For exposed architectural steel requiring a clean finish, we estimate intumescent coatings. We calculate the exact mil-thickness required based on steel sizes and environmental conditions to determine the precise gallon coverage, factoring in surface preparation and application sequence to provide an accurate structural fireproofing cost.

    Fire-Rated Boards & Rigid Protection

    We provide detailed takeoffs for non-combustible protection around shafts, beams, and mechanical assemblies. We measure the square footage of fire-rated gypsum, mineral wool, perlite boards, and calcium silicate panels, factoring in the necessary fastening systems, framing support, and joint treatments.

    Exact Material Quantification List

    We measure, sequence, and document every essential material group needed to turn your life-safety blueprints into a fully compliant, inspection-ready building:

    Structural member surface area (SF) by member type (columns, beams, joists).

    Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Material (SFRM) volume (Bags / Units).

    Intumescent fire-resistive coatings (IFRM) and primers (Gallons).

    Fire caulking, intumescent sealants, and joint sprays (Linear Feet / Tubes).

    Firestop collars, reusable fire pillows, and pipe wraps (EA / Rolls).

    Mineral wool insulation, safing, and curtain wall insulation (SF).

    Fire-rated gypsum panels and rigid calcium silicate boards (SF / Sheets).

    Overspray, waste margins, and post-installation touch-up allowances.

    Required thickness by fire rating (1-hr, 2-hr, 3-hr) verified per UL assembly.

    FAQs

    Does fireproofing thickness change based on the size of the steel member?
    Yes, the required thickness for a given fire rating depends on the member’s weight-to-heated-perimeter (W/D) ratio, so we calculate this per member rather than applying one blanket thickness across all steel.
    Yes, we match each member’s W/D ratio against the manufacturer’s UL-listed assembly table for the required rating, since an unverified assumption here is a common source of under- or over-spec’d fireproofing.
    We can include both, but they are itemized separately in the fire stop takeoff since firestopping is priced by penetration count and UL system number, not surface area.
    1-hour, 2-hour, and 3-hour ratings are most common on commercial and healthcare projects; we price whatever rating is called out on your structural drawings or life-safety plan.
    Yes, we include a touch-up and overspray allowance for steel that gets damaged or requires re-coating after other trades install adjacent work.
    Fireproofing protects the structure itself (like steel beams and columns) from failing during a fire, while firestopping protects the pathways inside the building by sealing penetrations (pipes, ducts, cables) to prevent the spread of smoke and flames.
    Do you calculate quantities for intumescent paint?
    Yes. We calculate the exact mil-thickness, steel sizes, and square footage required to determine accurate gallon coverage for intumescent coatings on exposed structural steel.
    We use advanced cost databases like RSMeans to adjust labor and material rates according to your specific project zip code, ensuring your structural fireproofing cost is highly accurate for your local market.
    You will receive a fully editable Excel spreadsheet detailing exact material counts, volume calculations, and labor hours, alongside color-coded marked-up PDF plans showing exactly what was quantified.

    Our standard turnaround time is 16 to 24 hours for most projects. If you are facing a strict bid deadline, we also offer an expedited rush service delivered in 5 to 16 hours.
