In an industry where time-sensitive submittals and compliance with complex fire-rated assembly standards are crucial, Active Estimating is transforming the process with its innovative documentation automation. Through the use of data-driven intelligence, the platform significantly reduces the time and human effort required to prepare UL-based fire-rated assembly documentation.

Streamlining UL Assembly Documentation

Manual collection of UL assemblies, documentation of fire-ratings, and submittal preparation has long been a drain on resources for estimators and project engineers. Active Estimating addresses these pain points head-on by automating the most labor-intensive steps:

• Instant matching of fire-rated wall types with their corresponding UL assemblies
• Automated population of necessary documentation in submittal-ready formats
• Real-time compliance validation against fire-resistance ratings

These capabilities not only reduce documentation timelines from weeks to hours but also eliminate the risk of human error commonly found in manual processes.

Data-Driven Intelligence Behind the Automation

Rather than relying on generic algorithms or static templates, Active Estimating uses a dynamic, data-driven intelligence engine. This technology continuously cross-references internal system inputs, project-specific details, and UL assembly databases to determine exact fire-rated system requirements. The result is a responsive, scalable solution that adapts to the varying specifications of each project without added manual configuration.

Benefits for Estimators and Project Teams

By integrating fire-rated documentation into the estimating workflow, Active Estimating creates a seamless bridge between scope definition and code compliance. Teams can now:

• Gain faster approvals by providing standardized, thorough UL documentation upfront
• Eliminate costly delays associated with missing or mismatched assembly data
• Ensure every fire-rated wall type has an accurate UL counterpart
• Improve communication between field, estimating, and project management teams

A New Standard for Submittal Accuracy

The solution replaces traditional manual reference methods with a dynamic model that includes all the necessary detail to meet code requirements. Submittals are generated in formats that meet contractor and jurisdictional expectations, reducing the chance of rejection or rework.

Looking Ahead

As demand increases for defensible, accurate, and code-compliant fire-rated documentation, Active Estimating sets a new bar for what’s possible in preconstruction workflows. Its intuitive interface, coupled with intelligent automation, ensures that teams stay focused on value-added tasks—leaving the heavy lifting of fire-rated documentation to technology.

By eliminating outdated manual submittal processes, the platform empowers professionals to deliver faster, more accurate, and fully-compliant results.
