You’ll be preparing detailed cost estimates for fire safety projects covering both passive and active fire protection systems. This involves reviewing tender documentation, interpreting technical specifications, and developing accurate, competitive quotations that meet client requirements and compliance standards. Working from architectural drawings, floor plans and CAD files, you’ll calculate material requirements, assess labour costs, and coordinate quotes from suppliers and subcontractors. You’ll need to spot potential challenges early – access restrictions, specification conflicts, or compliance issues that could impact project delivery and costs. Time management is crucial; you’ll manage multiple tenders simultaneously while ensuring everything is submitted well ahead of deadlines. Attention to detail matters – your specifications need to be watertight and your cost analyses thorough enough to withstand scrutiny. You’ll also build strong relationships with trade partners and suppliers, negotiating competitive rates and creating a reliable network across fire protection manufacturers, specialist installers and system providers. Working closely with our delivery team, you’ll ensure your estimates are realistic, achievable and aligned with on‑site realities, identifying risks and opportunities in project scopes and preparing cost breakdowns that work for both internal teams and client review.
