As building codes evolve to reflect increasing demands for safety and performance, Active Estimating has positioned itself at the forefront of fire safety compliance in the construction estimation landscape. By aligning its technology with the latest national fire protection regulations and standards, the company ensures that project estimates are not only precise but also prepared to meet rigorous safety requirements.

Precision Meets Fire Safety

Fire-resistant materials and assemblies are integral to modern commercial construction. The effectiveness of these components must be accurately quantified and verified early in the planning stages. Active Estimating integrates Active Estimating's proprietary data-driven intelligence to ensure that critical fire-rated components, such as shaftwall systems and rated partitions, are factored into bids with exacting detail and accuracy.

This approach empowers estimators to account for elements such as:

• UL-listed assemblies for fire-rated construction
• Code-mandated fire separations in multifamily and commercial buildings
• Materials required for one-hour or two-hour rated systems

Built-In Compliance and Risk Reduction

Estimating fire-rated assemblies isn’t just about material takeoffs—it's about risk mitigation. Active Estimating enables firms to reduce the likelihood of costly code violations or rework stemming from incomplete fireproofing documentation. The platform includes templates and customizable formulas that align with the latest building safety codes and industry standards, significantly reducing errors and omissions.

Data-Driven Intelligence at Every Step

At its core, Active Estimating uses advanced data-driven intelligence to power every estimate. This intelligent framework allows teams to:

• Instantly identify and categorize fire-rated walls and ceilings
• Apply specific labor production rates for specialty systems, such as fire-resistant shafts
• Incorporate assembly-specific hardware, sealants, and fasteners automatically

Supporting Preconstruction with Clarity

Active Estimating simplifies the preconstruction phase by creating clarity where traditional systems fall short. Estimators can clearly document compliance-related line items, enabling project managers, architects, and inspectors to verify code adherence with ease. This transparency not only ensures safety but also enhances collaboration across teams and disciplines.

Looking Ahead: Scalable Fire Safety Integration

As regulatory pressures continue to mount and contractors face tighter margins, Active Estimating’s commitment to safety, compliance, and accuracy will remain a cornerstone of its offering. With built-in support for complex assemblies and code-driven logic, the platform allows teams to scale confidently into more demanding project scopes—especially those where fire safety plays a central role.

From wall types to full system assemblies, the integration of fire compliance considerations into early-stage estimating is not just a benefit—it's becoming a necessity. Active Estimating ensures that every estimate is not only competitive but safe and standards-compliant from the ground up.
