Fire doors · quoting

Quoting a whole doorset, not just the repair.

Sometimes the answer is not an adjustment, it is a new doorset. Door Quoting prices the leaf, the frame, the ironmongery and the fitting as one thing, from your own rates.

Fire door quote, priced from the findings
FIG. 01  Fire door quote, priced from the findings

Section 01How to do it

  1. 01

    Start from the failure where there is one

    The inspection already knows which door, what failed and why, and a replacement quote should inherit all of it. You do not need one, though — a doorset can be quoted straight from the property when a client just wants a price.

  2. 02

    Measure before you specify

    Structural opening, leaf sizes, handing and the frame condition. A doorset ordered from an assumed size is the most expensive mistake available here, and it is not one the software can catch for you.

  3. 03

    Specify the doorset

    Configuration, rating, ironmongery and finish, with options appearing only where they apply. The choices are yours, priced from your own card, and the finished specification prints into the quote.

  4. 04

    Decide supply-and-fit or supply-only

    Price the doorset and the fitting as one line where you are doing both — it is what a client comparing quotes expects to see. Where the client has their own installer there is a supply-only preset, so the quote covers the doorset and stops there. Pick one deliberately and say which on the quote.

  5. 05

    Attach the RAMS

    Generated against the job rather than written out again, and attached to it.

  6. 06

    Send, chase, schedule

    Approved in the portal, chased if it goes quiet, then booked in with install scheduling.

Section 02What the app actually does here

  • Twenty-one presets cover the common door types, from FD30S flat entrance to steel FD120 plant room
  • Over two hundred configurable option values sit behind those presets
  • Options show and hide conditionally — glazing options only appear once glazing is selected
  • A live diagram redraws as the configuration changes
  • The finished configuration prints into the quote PDF alongside the price
  • Fire-door rates are held as their own rate card, with an undo on rate changes
  • A doorset quote does not have to come from an inspection — it can start from the property and its door record when a client simply wants a replacement priced
  • A supply-only preset exists for the jobs where the client is arranging their own installer

Section 03What goes wrong

Every one of these has cost somebody real time. They are cheap to avoid and expensive to unwind.

Building presets nobody agreed

Get the common configurations signed off internally once, or every quote becomes a bespoke decision.

Forgetting ironmongery in the price

It is where margin quietly disappears on supply-and-fit work.

Quoting replacement when repair would do

The findings tell you which. Let them.

Section 04Questions

Q01

Are the doorset options fixed?

They are configurable and priced from your own rate card, so the catalogue reflects what you actually supply.
Q02

Does a doorset quote link back to the inspection?

Yes — it references the door record and the finding that raised it, like any other quoted line.
Q03

Can we mix repairs and replacements on one quote?

Yes. A quote can carry adjustment lines and a full doorset together.
