Estimation Workflow
How to Prepare a More Reliable BOQ
A good estimate starts with verified engineering inputs, not assumptions.
01
Review Drawings
Review architectural layouts, approved fire safety drawings, equipment locations and design criteria.
02
Measure Quantities
Measure piping, cabling, devices, fittings, supports, equipment and other required materials.
03
Verify Rates
Confirm specifications, approved brands, supplier quotations, labor rates and applicable taxes.
04
Review & Export
Check quantities and totals, then export the working estimate for review in a spreadsheet.
Engineering & compliance note:
This calculator is not a substitute for professional design, approved
construction drawings, hydraulic calculations, short-circuit or voltage
drop calculations, equipment selection, or statutory approvals.
Fire protection design and procurement should follow the applicable
project requirements and the relevant editions of NFPA, BNBC, FSCD
and other applicable authority or client requirements. Quantities,
specifications, listing requirements and installation methods must be
checked by a qualified professional before procurement or installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fire Safety BOQ & MTO FAQs
Key information about quantity takeoffs and project cost estimation.
What is a Fire Safety BOQ?
A Fire Safety Bill of Quantities is an itemized schedule of the materials, equipment, quantities, units and rates required for a fire protection project. It is commonly used for budgeting, procurement, tendering and cost control.
What is MTO in fire protection engineering?
MTO means Material Take-Off. It is the process of identifying and measuring materials from engineering drawings and specifications, such as pipes, fittings, detectors, cables, valves and equipment.
Can I calculate installation and contingency costs?
Yes. Enter an installation percentage, contingency percentage, other fixed costs and an optional tax or VAT percentage. These are planning inputs and should be adjusted to the actual contract and applicable tax rules.
Can I download the BOQ for Excel?
Yes. Use Download BOQ CSV to export the item descriptions, units, quantities, unit rates, amounts and cost summary. CSV files can be opened in spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel.
Does this calculator produce an approved fire safety BOQ?
No. It calculates totals from the information entered by the user. It does not validate design adequacy, hydraulic performance, code compliance, actual site quantities or supplier pricing. Professional review is required before the estimate is used for formal submission or procurement.
