Our goal is to help contractors submit accurate bids, prevent costly overruns, and streamline project planning.

Material Takeoffs

We deliver detailed takeoffs for all firestopping and fireproofing systems, including:

  • Penetration Firestopping: Quantities for caulks, putties, wraps, and pillows used to seal pipes, ducts, and electrical penetrations.
  • Joint Firestopping: Estimates for fire-rated sealants and sprays for expansion joints, wall gaps, and floor assemblies.
  • Fireproof Coatings: Accurate takeoffs for spray-applied fire-resistive materials (SFRM), intumescent coatings, and cementitious coatings for structural protection.
  • Boards and Panels: Quantification of fire-rated boards for wall assemblies, shaft enclosures, and structural steel fireproofing.
  • Accessories: Counts for essential components like collars, sleeves, firestop blocks, and smoke barriers.

Labor Cost Estimation

Our fire stopping estimates include a full breakdown of labor costs, such as:

  • Installation Hours: Accurate calculations of labor hours required for each firestop system.
  • Crew Size Recommendations: Suggestions on the number of workers needed for efficient installation.
  • Location-Based Labor Rates: Adjusted to reflect your project’s location and current wage standards.

Waste Calculations

We account for all waste factors to prevent material shortages, including:

  • Material Overage: Calculations for cut-offs, excess materials, and application wastage.

Alex R

Senior Project Manage (New York, NY)

“Daniel Estimating’s fireproofing team saved our 40-story downtown project from costly delays. Their estimates included seismic-grade intumescent coatings and fire-rated insulation that passed NYC’s strict building codes on the first inspection. The contingency calculations even covered supply chain backups, a game-changer!”

Maria G.

Lead Estimator (Houston, TX)

“We needed fireproofing estimates for a chemical plant with hazardous material zones. Daniel’s team didn’t just crunch numbers, they recommended UL-certified spray-applied fireproofing (SFRM) that cut our material costs by 18% and sped up installation. Their compliance expertise kept us ahead of OSHA audits.”

James L.

Principal Architect (Boston, MA)

“Restoring a 1920s theater required fireproofing that preserved original aesthetics. Daniel Estimating delivered a very estimate for concealed firestop systems and gypsum board upgrades that met modern IBC standards without compromising the vintage design. Their team understands both safety and artistry.”

Priya S.

Development Director (Los Angeles, CA)

“Fireproofing 200+ apartment units on a tight budget seemed impossible until Daniel’s team optimized our estimates with cementitious spray breakdowns and labor-hour adjustments. Their 12-hour turnaround let us bid confidently, and we won the contract by 7% under budget!”

FAQs – Answering Your Questions

Our estimators are NFPA and IBC certified and cross-reference every project with regional and international standards. We use real-time code databases and flag non-compliant materials (e.g., outdated spray-applied fireproofing thickness) before bids go out.

Our database tracks fireproofing material prices from 150+ U.S. suppliers and adjusts for regional labor premiums (e.g., union rates in NYC). We also suggest alternative materials during shortages, like substituting calcium silicate boards for cementitious sprays.

We offer a 6-hour rush service for critical bids ($200 fee). Recently, we delivered a 50-story tower estimate in 6 to 12 hours, including fire-rated assembly specs for elevator shafts and HVAC penetrations.
