Fire system estimation from specification to device schedule.
Fire alarm tenders follow the same pattern as every building services discipline: dense specifications, equipment schedules with hundreds of devices, and zone layouts that take hours to count manually. Tenderfly reads the documents and produces the device schedule.
The problem
A fire alarm tender for a large commercial building might include 500 or more devices across dozens of zones. Detectors, call points, sounders, interfaces, monitoring modules, control panels. Counting them from a specification and set of floor plans is methodical, time-consuming work. The kind of work where a missed page means a missed zone.
What Tenderfly does
Extracts detector types and quantities from fire strategy documents and specifications. Reads floor plan layouts for device locations and zone coverage. Identifies interfaces to other systems: BMS, smoke ventilation, sprinkler monitoring, gas suppression. Produces a structured device schedule with quantities per zone and per floor.
Your fire alarm estimator reviews the output, adjusts for site-specific factors, and produces a priced tender return.
Who it's for
Fire alarm contractors and fire and life safety specialists who tender for detection, alarm and suppression systems in commercial, healthcare, educational and residential developments.
We are working with fire and life safety contractors to build this.
The extraction pipeline is proven on BMS tender documents and the architecture applies directly to fire alarm specifications and schedules. If you are a fire alarm contractor and want to explore this, we would like to hear from you.
