FIRETEX Design Estimator 2.5

FIRETEX Design Estimator is a purpose-built tool for structural engineers, specifiers, and coating professionals to plan and quantify intumescent fire protection for steel structures. It streamlines both early-stage and detailed design by turning member data and required fire-resistance ratings into clear coating specifications, material take-offs, and polished reports—helping teams deliver accurate estimates faster and with greater confidence.

Key capabilities:

• Fast, repeatable thickness estimates for common steel sections based on user-defined fire ratings and design parameters
• Smart section libraries and templates to speed up member selection and data entry
• Automatic material quantification, including primers and topcoats, with adjustable wastage factors
• Side-by-side scenario comparison to balance performance, cost, and program constraints
• Clear, client-ready outputs: bills of quantities, scope summaries, and assumption logs
• Flexible imports/exports for spreadsheets and reports to fit existing workflows
• User-controlled safety margins, coatings options, and environmental categories
• Project organization tools for managing multiple areas, phases, and revisions

Who it’s for:

• Structural and fire engineers
• Estimators and quantity surveyors
• Coating manufacturers, applicators, and specifiers

Benefits:

• Speeds up estimating and tender preparation
• Improves consistency and traceability of assumptions
• Reduces rework with transparent, editable inputs and outputs

Use FIRETEX Design Estimator to move from intent to actionable specifications quickly—supporting better decisions, sharper bids, and more predictable project delivery.
