Why Choose Estimating Canada
Built For Contractors Who Need It Right
Fire alarm estimating services for Canadian contractors
Fire alarm drawings look light, but the cost is in the count: every detector, pull station, horn and strobe, plus the wiring, the panel and the verification at the end. A missed device on a large floor plate adds up quickly.
We prepare fire alarm takeoffs and estimates from the fire alarm drawings and the specifications, with devices, wiring and the panel on their own lines.
| What we count and price
| Canadian fire alarm detail
| How we price it
Devices are counted by type from the plans and the device schedule, with wire and conduit measured by run. Programming and verification are separate lines so you can compare them with your supplier quote.
| Timing
Small fire alarm takeoffs are normally ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size and urgency.
