DIVISION 7 THERMAL TAKEOFFS

Precision Thermal Estimating

Seal your profits and the building envelope. We deliver exact insulation square footage, vapor barrier counts, and roofing metrics for high-precision Division 7 estimates.

Expert Insulation, Roofing, and Thermal Envelope Estimating

Welcome to F&K Estimatings, specializing in technical thermal and moisture protection estimating services tailored for insulation contractors, roofing specialists, and building envelope experts. In Division 7, the difference between a winning bid and a losing one is often hidden in the complex geometry of a roof or the R-value requirements of a high-performance wall assembly.

Our veteran thermal estimators leverage high-precision on-screen digitizers to map every vertical and horizontal surface requiring moisture or thermal protection. We provide a granular material list including insulation volumes, vapor retarders, roofing square footage, and fire-safing counts that allows you to bid with absolute confidence. Partner with our team to standardize your building envelope bids and eliminate the risks associated with high-complexity thermal scopes.

Thermal & Moisture Expertise

  • Batt, Blown & Spray Foam Insulation
  • Commercial Roofing Systems (TPO/EPDM)
  • Air & Vapor Retarder Membranes
  • Fire-Safing & Thermal Fire-Stopping
  • Specialized Building Wrap & Accessories

Precise R-Value Analysis

We differentiate estimates by R-values to ensure you order the exact material density specified in the energy code.

Tapered Insulation Lists

We provide detailed board-foot counts for complex tapered roofing systems, eliminating guess-work on the roof deck.

Integrated Barrier Counts

Our takeoffs capture everything from the primary membrane to the specialized tapes and sealants for a complete seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you calculate exact R-value insulation thicknesses?
Yes, we providing highly accurate square footage takeoffs for batt, blown-in, and spray-foam insulation, ensuring your bid meets the specific R-value thermal performance requirements stated in the energy code.
Can you estimate complex roofing systems and roof deck insulation?
Absolutely. We quantify all TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen roofing systems, including precise board-foot counts for tapered insulation and polyiso layer configurations.
How do you handle vapor barriers and air-vapor retarders?
Our thermal estimators calculate exact square footage for air-vapor retarder membranes, including all necessary sealants, tapes, and accessories for a continuous thermal envelope.
Do your takeoffs include firestopping and thermal fire-proofing?
Yes. In addition to primary insulation, we quantify mineral wool fire-safing and thermal fire-proofing required for structural perimeter joints and floor-to-wall gaps.
What is your turnaround for a commercial thermal/moisture estimate?
Standard commercial insulation and roofing packages are typically delivered within 48 to 72 hours. Massive industrial warehouses or multi-layered complex roofing may take 5 business days.
