An optional additional service is the determination of passive fire protection product thicknesses.

A further service is the annotation of tabulated product thicknesses onto the uploaded drawings, to use for example, on-site.
Upon receipt of your drawing submission, our team will review the uploaded content and comments and will contact you to provide a cost proposal to undertake the work.
Upon conversion of the drawing(s) to a steel list, our team will notify you. When you receive your results, a link to the set of marked-up drawings and spreadsheet output will be provided to you so that you can cross-check what has been included in the take-off.
