Fire & life safety · Estimates
Fire & life safety quotes from the book, not from memory.
Estimates for fire and life-safety contractors, priced from a book you build yourself and approved on the customer’s phone, so the number is the same on every truck and the yes is captured before you leave.
The work
The work that gets quoted.
01
The inspection cycle
Annuals, semi-annuals, and monthlies per property, scheduled from the record, with photos, findings, and signatures captured where the equipment hangs.
02
The deficiency
A failed head or a dead battery becomes a quote before the tech leaves the site, and a scheduled repair the moment the building approves it.
03
The service call
Trouble signals and damaged equipment between cycles, dispatched with the property’s full inspection history in the tech’s hand.
Why it matters
The argument, in three rows.
Built from your book
Parts, labor, and accessories come from the same price book everyone quotes from, so the number the customer hears never depends on which truck showed up.
Options beat ultimatums
A tiered proposal turns take-it-or-leave-it into a choice. The customer picks a tier instead of deciding whether to trust the only number on the page.
Signed before the truck leaves
E-signature on any device, deposit collected at approval, and the accepted proposal becomes a scheduled job. Same visit.
Fire & life safety · Estimates
The yes, captured.
Quoted from the book, approved on the phone, and turned into the job without retyping.
The old way
What the evening quote costs.
The paper trail is the product
This trade sells documentation. When it lives in binders and truck cabs, the thing you sell is the thing you cannot find.
Deficiencies die in the truck
A finding that never becomes a quote is revenue left on the wall, and a hazard left with your company’s name on the tag.
The cycle slips
A missed annual is a lost contract and an exposed building. Due dates belong on a board, not in someone’s head.
Up close
How it runs.
01
Show, don’t argue
Photos of the failing unit, the comparison between options, the before-and-after from a similar job. Embedded in the proposal, not described over the phone.
02
Multi-phase and commercial
Break big work into phases with alternates; each approved phase converts to its own job plan. Approval routing covers the facility-manager case.
03
Margin guardrails
The margin is visible while the proposal is built, so discounting is a decision, not an accident.
Straight answers
What fire and life-safety contractors ask.
What does Thorbis cost for fire and life-safety contractors?
$99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. Nothing on this page is a tier.
Is estimating a separate module?
No. Estimates & quotes is in Core, on the same record as the board, the estimate, and the invoice, so the fire and life-safety job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for fire and life-safety contractors specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For fire and life-safety contractors that means the inspection cycle, the deficiency, and the service call, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are fire and life-safety jobs.
Can I standardize templates?
Yes. Reusable branded templates with recommended options, so every proposal starts from the shop’s standard instead of a blank page.
What about multi-phase jobs?
Break the proposal into phases and alternates; each converts to a separate job plan when approved.
