A fire estimate takes weeks by hand.
Watch it take minutes.
Upload a fire-protection drawing and the engine returns a priced, IBC / NFPA 13 itemized estimate — on your own rate card, exported bid-ready as Excel + PDF. Your engineer still reviews and signs off; the weeks of grind simply disappear.
Real output. Open it yourself.
Not a mockup. These are the actual artifacts the engine produced from a real fire-protection drawing: the live dashboard result, and the tender-ready PDF and Excel. Open the full files and inspect every line.
Six stages. Weeks of grind, gone.
This is the exact path your estimator walks by hand over 3–6 weeks — the engine runs it end-to-end in minutes. You keep the judgement; it kills the grind. Every stage stays checkable, and the internal rules and thresholds stay under the hood.
Ingest & normalize
PDF, CAD or DWG drawings are read and converted into clean vector geometry the engine can reason over — no manual redrawing.
Detect components
Every sprinkler, pipe, riser, valve and fitting is found and classified from the drawing symbols — nothing missed, nothing double-counted.
Measure & take off
Lengths, counts and areas measured to scale in imperial (feet & inches) — the quantity takeoff that devours the most estimator-hours of any job.
Apply IBC / NFPA 13
Code rules and hydraulic logic mapped onto the takeoff so the spec lines up with US fire-protection standards — consistently, every time.
Assemble & cost
Items roll up into a structured estimate, priced against your own rate card — bid-ready Excel + PDF, your brand on it.
Review & sign off
Your engineer reviews, adjusts any rate, and approves — the professional accountability stays exactly where it belongs: with a human.
No CAD drawing? A values brief works too.
When your client hands you an architectural values brief as a PDF instead of drawings, the engine reads that PDF and extracts every value exactly as stated — then assembles a client-ready, priced estimate in seconds, just as it does from a drawing. Working from an Excel values sheet rather than a PDF? We'll tailor the engine to your exact format on request — today it reads PDF value briefs out of the box.
Scope-honest by design: it flags low-confidence rates ("manual review recommended") and refuses to invent whole-building items from a partial drawing — so what your engineer signs off is trustworthy, not a black-box guess. That's the difference between a demo toy and a system you can bid real projects on.
The payback math — on your numbers
Manual estimating isn't just slow — it's revenue left on the table. Here's the honest picture, and what flips the day this engine is yours.
Drawing review → hydraulic calc → takeoff → rate analysis → drafting. Every single bid crawls.
A senior estimator clears only a handful a month — the rest you simply can't turn around in time to bid.
And an estimator still can't go faster, takes leave, and can resign — walking out with the know-how.
A priced, IBC / NFPA 13 estimate in minutes — about a day end-to-end once your engineer has reviewed it.
Quote every RFP that lands. Each extra estimate you can now turn around is ~$5,000+ of billing you couldn't capture before.
Your server, your rate card, your brand on the output. No per-estimate fee, no seat licenses, no vendor lock-in.
That $5,000 is deliberately conservative — standard commercial estimates bill $3.5–6K, high-occupancy (hospital / mall / data-heavy) $6–11K, specialized (data center / plant) $11–17K. Plug your own numbers in:
| If it wins you… | Extra billing / year | Payback on $35K |
|---|---|---|
| +1 extra estimate / month (ultra-conservative) | $60,000 | ~7 months |
| +2 extra estimates / month (conservative) | $120,000 | ~4 months |
| +6 extra estimates / month (turning away work today) | $360,000 | under 6 weeks |
Compare hiring: a senior fire estimator runs $80–110K a year, every year, and still needs weeks per estimate. At the introductory price the engine is a one-time spend of under five months of a single salary — but it multiplies your whole team's throughput permanently, never takes leave, and never resigns.
Pricing below is specific to the AI Estimating Engine only — other systems are scoped separately.
| Engagement | Best for | Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Launch Pilot | Prove it on your own drawings first — full setup & configuration on your real drawings. One-time offer per business. | $3,499 one-time |
| Managed System | We host, run & keep improving it — you prefer OpEx to owning | $3,499 onboarding (waived if upgrading from Pilot within 30 days) + $5,999 / month |
| Build & Own It | Own it outright on your server — far cheaper over its life | $3,499 onboarding (waived if upgrading from Pilot within 30 days) + $35,000 one-time special introductory offer — |
Run the numbers: at $5,999/month, a managed engine passes the $35,000 one-time in about 6 months — and a firm that estimates for many years keeps paying. At the introductory price, owning it outright is dramatically cheaper over its lifetime. The Launch Pilot is a one-time $3,499 offer per business; upgrade to Managed System or Build & Own It within 30 days and the $3,499 onboarding fee is waived. Start with a pilot; scale to whichever model fits.
- It produces a first-pass priced estimate; a qualified engineer still reviews and signs off. It removes the grind, not the professional accountability.
- Accuracy tracks input quality — a clean CAD drawing or a complete brief yields the best output, and it tells you when it's unsure rather than guessing.
- Built to IBC / NFPA 13 / USD / imperial. (An NBC 2016 / INR / metric build for other markets is separate.)

The fastest way to believe "weeks to minutes" is to watch your own project become a priced estimate in front of you — we'll hand you the Excel + PDF on the call.
