| Measurement Section & Units | BS EN 12845 Sprinklers & Passive Fire Stopping measured in m, nr, m2, zones | Scaled GA plans at 1:50 / 1:100 or structural details in mm |
| Local Statutory Framework | Building Regulations (Approved Documents Parts A–S) & Building Safety Act (BSA) Gateways 1–3 | England statutory & local tender compliance notes |
| Wastage & Prelim Separation | Net quantities isolated with 5%–10% typical trade waste allowances | E14 Postcode District logistics and phased delivery allowances |
| Deliverables & Drawing Uploads | 100% open-formula Excel BoQ + colour-coded PDF overlays (up to 25 MB upload) | 24–48 hrs turnaround target for focused single-trade packages |
Calibration note: 1:50 and 1:100 architectural and structural drawings are scaled to 25 mm masonry tolerances and 100 mm thermal zones, isolating 5 percent to 10 percent wastage from net quantities.
What is measured in every E14 (Canary Wharf, Docklands & Isle of Dogs) pack?
Post-Building Safety Act compliance across UK residential towers and warehouses makes incomplete fire protection allowances an unacceptable risk. We measure sprinkler head counts, light/medium/high-hazard zone mains, BS 9251 residential kits, dry/wet risers, and third-party accredited firestopping.
- Distinguishes concealed residential BS 9251 pendent heads from commercial/industrial ESFR upright/concealed heads.
- Maps fire compartmentation wall junctions against M&E cable trays and pipe penetrations for passive firestopping bids.

Fire Protection Estimating FAQs for E14 (Canary Wharf, Docklands & Isle of Dogs)
Why do E14 tenders require separate prelims & phasing clarity for fire protection?
Estate-managed loading-bay booking gates, Goods Lift size restrictions for drywall boards/AHUs, and night-shift fit-out access. Separating physical net BoQ items from phased call-offs and urban logistics lets contractors price risk transparently without diluting trade rates.
Can you measure passive firestopping separately from active sprinkler installations?
Yes. Active sprinkler/mist piping and passive compartment barriers, intumescent pipe wraps, and ablative batts sit on clearly separated tabs.
Do sprinkler estimates include zone check valves, flow switches, and tank/pump sets?
Yes—control valves, trace-heated external tank pipework, dual diesel/electric pumps, and BMS flow interfaces are included.
