What Archer knows about fire protection contractors
Fire Suppression
PrimaryGeneral Requirements
Always includedDrawing sheet prefix: FP- — analyzed. Everything else — skipped, so you never pay for sheets that aren't yours.
For the working contractor
You didn't get into fire protection contractors to spend Sundays in Excel.
Archer takes the parts of bid response you hate — reading the spec book, counting the drawings, writing the cover letter — and does them in minutes. Not hours. Minutes.
Your evenings come back. Your weekends come back. You spend time on the work you actually got into this trade to do.
You still approve every line. Archer just gets the draft there first.
For the growing business
Growing a fire protection contractors business? Archer lets you respond to every bid without hiring an estimator.
Every bid you skip is revenue you leave on the table. But hiring a full-time estimator to chase more work is a $90K bet before they close a single deal.
Archer handles the first 80% of bid response — the parsing, the draft takeoff, the proposal assembly — so one person can cover the bid volume that used to require three.
Triple your bid volume without tripling your headcount.
How it works
Three stages. Your vocabulary.
Parse
Archer reads Division 21 front to back — sprinkler head counts, riser diagrams, pipe sizing, alarm valve specs, and hydraulic calculation requirements. Conflicts between the drawings and the spec narrative get flagged as RFI candidates.
Takeoff
Archer drafts a takeoff with sprinkler heads separated from pipe linear feet separated from hangers and fittings. Material cost, labor hours, and equipment all broken out.
Propose
Archer writes a cover letter, scope narrative grouped by Division 21, exclusions for fire alarm by others, and qualifications. DOCX and PDF. Send it from your phone.
