United States, 21st May 2025 – In an era where precision and compliance are paramount in construction estimating, Active Estimating introduces a critical enhancement: the ability to track fire ratings by assembly for comprehensive code compliance. This advancement strengthens the platform’s position as a trusted solution for contractors who need accurate, auditable documentation of fire-rated wall and ceiling assemblies throughout the estimation and bidding process.

Enhancing Code Compliance Through Assembly-Level Intelligence

Rather than relying on manual tagging or external documentation, the system enables fire ratings to be associated directly with specific wall types. Each wall or ceiling type in the system can carry its own fire rating attributes, which ensures that estimators and project managers have reliable access to the correct data when generating reports or collaborating with code compliance teams.

Tracks fire ratings at the assembly level — not just per project or floor

Automatically includes fire-rated assembly data in quantity takeoffs and estimates

Streamlines submittal documentation with fire-rated specification data embedded

Minimizes costly misclassifications or code violations during construction phases

Optimized for Contractors and Estimators

Fire-rated assemblies are not only a regulatory requirement — they are also a critical factor in risk mitigation, budgeting, and accurate bidding. By embedding this tracking functionality, Active Estimating provides contractors with greater confidence that their scope matches up with compliance codes from the outset.

For estimators, this means:

• Reduced time spent reconciling drawings with code-mandated assemblies
• Fewer revisions during plan checks or internal reviews
• Faster turnaround time for delivering accurate proposals to clients

Integrated Fire Rating Intelligence

The system’s data-driven intelligence model allows users to define fire ratings once, then apply them consistently across takeoffs and project documents. Because the fire rating data is built into each wall or ceiling type, there is no need for redundant entry or rechecking.

This reduces the risk of human error and enables a smarter workflow for estimation professionals who are balancing compliance, scheduling, and budget pressures simultaneously.

Supporting Documentation and Reporting

Fire-rated wall and ceiling data are included in both internal and external documentation, ensuring that the estimates meet both performance and compliance standards. Submittal packages can include fire-rating classifications alongside quantities and material specifications, supporting a seamless transition from bid to build.

Scalable for Complex Projects

For large-scale builds with dozens or hundreds of fire-rated partitions, the assembly-level approach ensures each instance is tracked individually. This makes the system adaptable for multi-phase construction, tenant improvement work, and highly regulated industries like healthcare, education, and government contracts.

A Smarter Estimating Future

As industry regulations become more stringent and timelines tighter, estimators need tools that go beyond traditional methods. With fire-rating tracking by assembly, “https://www.activeestimating.com/” Active Estimating continues to evolve its platform to meet the real-world challenges of today’s construction professionals.
