Fire Alarm Estimating Software

Fire alarm estimating software. Count initiating devices and notification appliances from the drawings and build the panel, device, booster and cabling BOM.

What is Fire Alarm Estimating?

Fire alarm estimating counts every initiating device (smoke, heat and duct detectors, pull stations, monitor modules) and every notification appliance (horn/strobes, speakers, chimes) on the plans, then adds the control panel, annunciators, power boosters, communicator, batteries, FPL/FPLP cable and the test and certification the specification requires. BidLark counts the device symbols on each sheet with a markup you can verify, reads the Division 28 specification and device schedule, and carries everything into a priced BOM and proposal.
