What Is Fire Alarm and Low Voltage Estimating
Fire alarm and low voltage estimating is the process of pricing the systems that run on low voltage wiring. It covers fire alarm panels, horn strobes, smoke and heat detectors, pull stations, monitor modules, data and TV outlets, security cameras, access control, intercoms and the cable and conduit that connect them.
These devices are small but they repeat in every room and unit. We count each device type from the electrical and fire alarm plans in PlanSwift and Bluebeam and list them by area or unit type, so your bid matches the drawings.
