Technical Standards & Documentation Audits

We structure all quantity takeoffs under CSI Division 21 - Fire Suppression using measurement principles from Sprinkler piping measured in linear feet by pipe diameter (1" through 8"+) and schedule rating and Sprinkler heads counted by temperature rating, finish, and orientation (pendant, upright, concealed, sidewall) and Grooved mechanical couplings and threaded fittings calculated based on branch grid spacing. Line items reflect local code criteria defined by 2022 NYC Construction Codes, NYC DOB Chapter 33 Site Safety management, MTA transit easement approvals for adjacent construction, and Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) approvals.

Assembly-level modeling: We decompose fire protection estimating services into discrete measurable elements such as Wet Pipe Fire Sprinkler Systems, Concealed & Pendant Sprinkler Heads, along with Fire Pump & Controller Assemblies, Standpipe & FDC Risers, Grooved Steel Pipe Fittings.
