Mechanical & Piping Insulation Estimating

For mechanical insulation contractors, a precise estimate is essential to get additional contracts and high-profit margins.

Let us digitally start your insulation projects to measure dimensions accurately and consider different forms such as round, oval, and rectangular pipes or ducts so that a precise cost estimate for material and labor is available. Our estimators are highly trained in insulation estimating tools, such as Fastwrap, to give a broad range of complicated mechanical systems with the correct linear foot and square feet of material and labor costs. We generate estimates according to your unique work and personalize our products according to your requirements.

Our insolation estimation services include:

  • Pipe insulation
  • Cold storage insulation
  • Ductwork insulation
  • Boiler & Turbine
  • Fireproofing
  • Acoustic systems
  • Firestopping
  • Weatherproofing
  • Moisture Barrier
  • Removable insulation systems
  • Equipment insulation systems
  • Tank insulation systems

Piping Estimates Built Around ASME B31.3 and B31.1

When it comes to process and power piping, they are not priced the same way as standard plumbing. Code requirements account for a large portion of the labor cost. ASME B31.3 controls process piping in refineries, whereas ASME B31.1 manages power piping. Both codes have specific requirements for welding procedures and non-destructive examination (NDE). It have a direct impact on fabrication cost.

Our code-aware piping estimates account for:

  • Welding procedure and P-Number material group requirements per B31.3
  • NDE and inspection levels 
  • Material test report (MTR) and traceability documentation costs
  • Hydrostatic and pneumatic testing requirements before system turnover

These requirements demand accurate estimates and pricing so that contractors can avoid overpricing surprises.
