Fire Alarm Preconstruction

From plans
to proposal.

Fire alarm preconstruction, reimagined. Work on the drawings the way you always have — and walk away with the specification, the calculations, the BOM, the submittal, the proposal, and the purchase order.

How the takeoff works

AI helps you find it.
You stay in control.

SPEK proposes devices from the symbols on your drawings and tells you plainly what it is unsure about. You verify, correct, and approve. Nothing reaches the BOM until you say so.

It was built for fire alarm — not adapted from a general construction takeoff tool that happens to count circles.

Specification

It starts with what
the device does.

A takeoff finds functional devices, not SKUs. SPEK's specification intelligence then narrows the catalog to the products, variants, and accessories that actually belong on this system — so nobody browses 4,000 line items looking for a base.

SYMBOL → FUNCTIONAL DEVICE →
SPECIFIED PRODUCT → REQUIRED COMPANION
SPEK maps a functional fire alarm device to a compatible Kidde product and required companion equipment.
The workflow

One workflow. From takeoff to proposal.

Seven steps, one set of project data. Nothing re-entered and nothing rebuilt in another tool.

A generic takeoff tool tells you
“There are 42 smoke detectors.”
SPEK tells you
What those 42 devices are, which products to specify, what else the system requires, how it changes the calculations, what it costs, which documents belong in the submittal, how to quote it — and what to order.
SPEK battery sizing calculations and fire alarm system cross-check results.
Calculations & system checks

Calculated around the system you actually specified.

Battery sizing and system checks are calculated using the equipment selected for the project — not generic assumptions disconnected from the BOM.

  • Battery and standby calculations
  • SLC loop-loading review
  • Notification power-balance checks
  • Device and panel compatibility
  • Clear pass, warning and review conditions
Submittals

Every submittal,
assembled automatically.

SPEK matches the specified products to their technical documentation, creates the device index and merges everything into one organized package for the client and AHJ.

  • Populate devices from the verified project
  • Match every model to its product data sheet
  • Generate an automatic device index
  • Merge everything into one downloadable PDF
SPEK builds a fire alarm submittal by matching project equipment to product data sheets and generating a complete package.
SPEK workflow from internal dealer pricing to a lump-sum client proposal and draft purchase order.
Procurement

Win the job.
Then order the equipment.

Turn the verified BOM into a client-ready lump-sum proposal and generate the dealer's draft purchase order without entering the equipment twice.

  • Dealer pricing and margins remain internal
  • The client receives a clean lump-sum proposal
  • Scope, equipment schedule and terms are included
  • The awarded proposal becomes a draft dealer purchase order

SPEK generates the purchase-order document. The dealer submits it through its normal ordering process.

Plans
