- Foam suppression and deluge systems
- NFPA hydraulic calculations and density/area verification
- AHJ coordination and plan review support
Expert Estimating You Can Rely On
Fire protection systems are life-safety critical, and their cost estimates must be equally precise. Under-bidding a sprinkler system or missing a clean agent suppression requirement can turn a profitable project into a significant loss. Tech MEP Estimates' fire protection team includes NICET Level III certified estimators with deep experience in NFPA 13, 13R, 13D, 14, 20, and 25 applications. We work with fire protection contractors, general contractors, and facility owners to deliver accurate estimates that protect both lives and project margins.
How We Deliver Your Estimate
NFPA Code Analysis
We review the building occupancy, construction type, hazard classification, and local AHJ requirements to establish the correct code basis for the estimate.
System Takeoff & Design Review
Detailed takeoff of pipe, fittings, sprinkler heads, hangers, equipment, and devices, cross-referenced against NFPA hydraulic requirements.
Estimate & Hydraulic Summary
Receive a complete line-item estimate with equipment, pipe, labor, and a hydraulic calculation summary for the design density and water supply.
Our Track Record
500+ Projects Delivered Nationwide
Trusted by contractors, GCs, and developers across the country for accurate, timely cost estimates across every trade and project type.
Why Contractors Trust Us
NICET Level III Certified
Our lead fire protection estimators hold NICET Level III certification in water-based systems, ensuring code-accurate estimates every time.
All NFPA Standards
We estimate to NFPA 13, 13R, 13D, 14, 20, 25, 72, 96, and 2001, covering every fire protection system type across all occupancy categories.
Special Hazard Systems
Clean agent, foam, CO2, and deluge systems for data centers, museums, server rooms, aircraft hangars, and chemical storage facilities.
Hydraulic Calculation Review
We review and verify hydraulic calculations to confirm system design meets required density/area and available water supply, preventing costly redesigns.
Underground & Site Work
We include underground fire main, hydrant installations, PIVs, and backflow preventers, work often missed in quick estimates.
