Fire Protection System Installation Projects

Hydrant lines, sprinkler networks and alarm systems take weeks and swallow material. Each installation runs as a project with its own stages, issues, labour and handover record.

How a project is set up

From the approved quotation

The accepted quotation becomes the project scope, so pipe lengths, sprinkler heads, panels and labour are already listed.

Stages

Piping, head fitting, pump room work, panel wiring, detector mounting, testing and handover. You name the stages you actually work in.

Team and dates

Fitters, wiremen and the supervisor are assigned with planned dates. A stage carries its own start and finish.

Material and labour on the job

Pipes, fittings, valves, heads, cable, detectors and panels are issued from the godown against the project. Returns come back the same way. The difference between issued and returned is the material consumed, which is the figure an owner wants when a job looks costlier than quoted. Labour days and any hired machinery are entered against the stage they belong to.

Testing and handover

Site photographs

Photographs taken at each stage stay with the project, which settles later questions about routing and mounting.

Commissioning notes

Pressure readings, pump trial notes, zone tests and the panel walk through are recorded as the stage closes.

Papers given to the client

Drawings, device lists and your own test record are attached. The new equipment enters the site register at handover.

Into the service schedule

Once handed over, the system joins the inspection calendar, and an annual contract can be quoted from the same device list.

What the project record leaves out

  • It is not a drawing tool, so designs come from your consultant
  • It does not approve any design on an authority’s behalf
  • Subcontractor terms are settled by you outside the system
  • Retention and payment stages follow the contract you signed
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can material issued be compared with the quotation?

Yes. Quoted quantity, issued quantity and returned quantity are shown side by side for every item on the project.

How are part payments against a project handled?

Invoices are raised stage by stage or on milestones you set, and each one shows against the project balance.

Can a project cover several buildings of one client?

Yes. A project can span the sites you link to it, and equipment lands in the register of the right building.

Who closes a project?

The supervisor or owner, once handover is recorded. Closing moves the installed devices into the service schedule.
