Electronic Safety & Security Estimating
Fire alarm, access control, and surveillance system quantities — priced separately from fire suppression, since these are distinct scopes.
What We Take Off
- Fire alarm devices and panels
- Access control hardware
- CCTV and surveillance systems
- Intrusion detection
- Mass notification systems
- Security head-end equipment
Works from whatever plans you have
Traditional 2D CAD drawings and PDF plan sets, or 3D BIM models — electronic safety & security quantities are taken off directly from your source files, cross-checked against the model where one exists, and delivered in the same itemized format either way.
Need the drawings themselves, not just a takeoff from them? See Drawing & Engineering Services.
Where electronic safety & security estimates commonly go wrong
Fire alarm device counts are code-driven, not design-optional — a takeoff needs to reference code-required spacing, not just what's shown on a preliminary plan.
