Fire Protection Estimating Services in Georgia
Fire sprinkler and fire protection estimates for Georgia fire protection contractors and GCs — wet, dry, pre-action and ESFR systems, heads, pipe, risers, valves and fire pumps.
What is included in a fire sprinkler estimate?
A fire sprinkler estimate counts sprinkler heads by type, measures pipe by size and material, and includes fittings, hangers, risers, valves, backflow preventers, fire department connections, fire pumps (if required), alarm devices, hydraulic calculation allowances, permits, testing and labor.
Overview
Sprinkler Systems Priced Head by Head
Fire protection is required in most commercial, industrial and multifamily buildings. ESFR systems in Georgia’s warehouses and NFPA 13R systems in apartments are common. We take off heads and pipe from fire protection drawings or estimate from architectural plans when design-build.

Common Fire Protection Estimating Mistakes — and How We Avoid Them
Most lost margin in Fire Protection work comes from a handful of repeat mistakes. Our checklist-based takeoff and senior QA review are designed to catch them before your bid goes out:
- Missing sprinklers in concealed spaces, canopies and closets
- Forgetting dry systems in unheated areas
- Ignoring the need for a fire pump after a flow test
- Leaving out backflow, FDC and underground connections
- Underestimating seismic/sway bracing
What to send for this estimate: fire protection drawings or architectural plans, water flow test and specifications, plus addenda, the project address and your bid due date. If you want pricing with your own labor rates or supplier quotes, include those too — we’ll build them into the estimate. Send files through Contact Us.
