Expert Fireproofing Estimating for Modern Safety Standards

Welcome to F&K Estimatings, your premier partner for specialized fireproofing estimating services across the USA. In the complex world of life-safety construction, there is zero margin for error. Underestimating the amount of cementitious fireproofing required for a high-rise core or miscalculating the expensive intumescent paint needed for exposed architectural steel can devastate a project's profitability.

Our experienced estimators dive deep into the structural steel shop drawings, analyzing W/D ratios and Hp/A factors for every beam and column. We provide granular data that helps fire protection contractors submit competitive, profitable bids while ensuring full compliance with IBC and UL standards. Whether you are bidding on a warehouse, an airport terminal, or a medical facility, our localized data ensures your pricing is right for the specific market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you calculate intumescent coating thicknesses?

Yes, our fireproofing estimators calculate exact dry film thickness (DFT) requirements based on the structural steel's W/D ratio and the required hourly fire rating (1, 2, or 3 hours).

Can you estimate spray-applied fire resistive materials (SFRM)?

Absolutely. We perform detailed takeoffs for both cementitious and fiber-based SFRM, providing exact bag counts and required labor hours for both standard and high-density applications.

How do you handle firestopping for MEP penetrations?

We quantify every single firestop location for pipes, conduits, and ductwork penetrations through fire-rated walls and floors, ensuring your bid includes all necessary sealants, pillows, and collars.

Do your takeoffs include surface preparation and priming?

Yes. In addition to the fireproofing material itself, we estimate the square footage for shot-blasting, solvent cleaning, and specialized priming required for proper adhesion to steel members.

What is your turnaround for a commercial fireproofing estimate?

Most standard commercial fireproofing takeoffs are delivered within 48 to 72 hours. Extremely large industrial or high-rise projects may require 3 to 5 business days.
