CSI Division 07 Fireproofing estimating inquiry
Request quantities by member or assembly, drawing references, exposed surfaces and specified thickness. Confirm product coverage and loss assumptions before converting measured quantities into bags or gallons; the estimate does not select or approve a fire-rated assembly.
A fireproofing bid needs a traceable connection between the issued design, measured substrate and product quantity. Record the specified system and thickness for each member group; a generic hourly rating alone does not establish the required thickness or material.
Missing design or product information belongs in the clarification log. Quantity review does not replace design approval, manufacturer direction, testing or special inspection. Attach the fireproofing schedule, listed designs, specifications and current addenda to the quote request above.
Specialized construction takeoffs
Review materials, units and scope
Confirm your deadline before work starts
Plan-based quantity takeoffs
Identify the current drawing revision, included systems, alternates and addenda. Agree whether labor, equipment, demolition, testing, permits, taxes, freight and owner-furnished items are included. Missing design information needs a recorded allowance or clarification; estimating does not replace engineering design or code approval.
Keep measured quantities separate from waste and procurement allowances. For a priced estimate, confirm the project location, pricing date, supplier inputs and labor basis. Final bid qualifications and markups remain subject to contractor review.
Fireproofing quantities depend on the specified product and listed assembly, member details and documented thickness basis. Bag yield, coating coverage, application loss, masking and curing conditions need current product documentation and project assumptions; one steel-member ratio does not establish the complete system.

Complete takeoff of concealed and exposed cementitious fireproofing on wide flange beams, columns, and decks.
Deliverable Format
Board Footage (BF = 1 SF @ 1" thickness), bag counts (50 lb bags), and pump crew hours.
Our fireproofing takeoffs are structured under CSI MasterFormat Division 07 and reference Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Fire Resistance Directories.
Every steel member is mapped to its exact UL Design number and hourly rating.
Spray-applied cementitious and mineral fiber fire-resistive materials.
Thin-film and thick-film intumescent coatings for exposed steel.
Rigid calcium silicate and mineral wool board enclosures.
Through-penetration firestops, firestop joints, and perimeter fire barriers.
Head-of-wall joint sealants, deflection joints, and expansion seals.
Edge-of-slab perimeter curtain wall fire containment.
Fireproofing quantities need the project fire-resistance design, specified product, steel member schedule and approved thickness basis. Member ratios alone do not establish a complete listed assembly. Missing or conflicting requirements need designer or manufacturer clarification before material quantities are finalized.
Send your drawing sheets for a dedicated takeoff schedule.
Confirm the selected product and project assumptions before converting quantities:
Understanding whether your team needs raw quantity measurements or a fully priced bid estimate helps you order the exact service you require.
Our systematic 7-step engineering process eliminates missing elements, prevents duplicate counts, and delivers defensible estimates.
We review Code Summaries, UL listings, fire rating plans (1/2/3-Hr), structural framing plans, and Division 07 specs.
We reconcile the member schedule with the project-listed design and specified product thickness. Unresolved thickness or assembly selections are referred for designer or manufacturer clarification.
We measure linear member lengths and deck areas, multiplying surface area by thickness to compute Board Feet and bag yields.
We calculate surface areas for exposed architectural steel, mapping specified hourly ratings to required dry mil thicknesses.
We measure head-of-wall joints, edge-of-slab fire safing, and count MEP pipe/conduit penetration sleeves.
We calculate polyethylene masking square footage, spray rig pump rental durations, and nozzleman crew days.
Estimator review checks quantity calculations, recorded design references and addenda. It does not certify assembly compliance or replace design approval.
From commercial tenant fit-outs to heavy industrial complexes, we adapt our takeoff methodology to project specifications.
Multi-story wide flange steel framing, composite fluted floor decks, 2-hour columns, and head-of-wall joint seals.
Decorative trusses, exposed lobby columns, and skylight framing requiring thin-film intumescent coatings.
High-density moisture-resistant SFRM in mechanical rooms, cleanroom containment, and 2-hour shaftwalls.
Medium-density moisture-resistant cementitious fireproofing on exposed structural steel transfer girders.
High-density cementitious fireproofing and hydrocarbon intumescent coatings for blast/fire resistance.
2-hour flexible ceramic grease duct thermal insulation wraps and penetration firestop collars.
Material and labor costs fluctuate drastically by project geography, supplier logistics, trade union jurisdictions, and site conditions. We do not use flat national averages.
Confirm the pricing date, project ZIP code, supplier quotations, labor basis and equipment allowances in the project brief. Identify any owner-supplied rates or provisional costs separately.
Use the applicable product and listed design to establish the thickness basis for the actual member and assembly; flag missing requirements for clarification.
Compare specified products using current supplier quotations, required thickness, finish, access and application requirements rather than a universal cost multiplier.
Protecting existing finishes, glass curtain walls, and mechanical ductwork in occupied spaces adds substantial masking labor.
Spraying steel above 14 feet requires electric scissor lifts or staging platforms, reducing daily square-foot production.
Confirm substrate temperature, humidity, protection and curing requirements from the selected product documentation before assigning heating or enclosure costs.
Review illustrative project models demonstrating how CSI Division 07 Fireproofing quantities are extracted, itemized, and structured under standard contractor bidding conditions.
Agree the scope and review requirements for your project. Check quantities against the supplied drawing revision and record unresolved items before preparing a final bid.
When bidding tight commercial deadlines, subcontractors cannot afford incomplete takeoffs or guesswork. A clear estimating brief helps identify the quantities, pricing inputs and qualifications needed for bid review.
Request drawing references and identify allowances separately from measured quantities.
Identify addenda and agree the revision scope, fee and delivery date.
Confirm the spreadsheet format, formulas and cost inputs required for your bid.
Confirm the project ZIP code, pricing date, supplier quotations and labor basis.
Detailed technical and commercial answers to help you navigate fireproofing estimating services, material scheduling, and bid preparation.
For a contractor bid, identify the trade package, issued plan revision, specifications, alternates and the responsibility for adjoining work. Separate measured quantities from unit prices, subcontractor quotations and project allowances so the bid reviewer can trace each assumption.
Agree the spreadsheet columns, drawing references, exclusions, pricing date and revision allowance before work starts. An addendum or changed scope needs an identified issue date and change record; an illustrative sample does not establish project-specific pricing or specialist experience.
Compare commercial bid estimating scope with the published sample evidence, then request the required handoff.
