60+ Years of Real Field Data. Since 1958. No Guesswork On Your Project.
We’ve run fire retardant projects since 1958 — enough of them to know exactly how long a job takes, what it should cost, and which application method actually works for your material. That data is what we bring to your project before a single gallon gets applied.
Why Field Data Beats a Sales EstimateWe’ve Already Done Your Project — Just Under a Different Name
Every fire retardant job looks unique until you’ve run a few thousand of them. Since 1958, we’ve tracked how long applications actually take, what materials actually need, and where projects actually bleed money — labor hours, over-ordered product, the wrong method for the surface. You get that data before you commit a budget, not after you’ve already blown one.
Advisory ServicesWhat You Actually Get
This isn’t a sales call dressed up as consulting. It’s the same planning process we run internally before we ever touch a job — applied to yours.
Project Timeline Estimation
Real labor-hour and completion-time estimates based on comparable jobs we’ve already run — not a padded guess built to protect a bid.
Cost & Material Waste Reduction
We flag where budgets typically bleed on fire retardant jobs — over-ordered product, redundant labor, wrong-method rework — before you spend on any of it.
Application Method Selection
Spray, brush, or dip — the right call depends on your material, volume, and site conditions. We tell you which one actually fits, and why the others don’t.
NFPA 701 & CA Title 19 Guidance
We plan the job to pass Fire Marshal and Building Official review the first time — not to find out what’s missing at inspection.
DRI-ONE Application Planning
Direct manufacturer-level guidance for any project using DRI-ONE flame retardant liquid — coverage rates, surface prep, and cure conditions specific to your job.
General Fire Protection Advisory
Not every job needs DRI-ONE specifically. We advise on fire retardant strategy broadly — material choice, code path, and application planning — regardless of product.
How It WorksFive Steps, Same Process We Use Internally
Project Assessment
We look at your material, scope, environment, and compliance requirement — the same intake we’d run before quoting our own job.
Data-Backed Plan
We match your project against comparable jobs from 60+ years of records to build a real timeline and cost range, not a placeholder number.
Application Method Recommendation
Spray, brush, or dip, with the coverage and prep specifics for your exact material and site.
Execution Support
Guidance through the actual application — yours, your contractor’s, or ours — so the plan holds up in the field, not just on paper.
Compliance Sign-Off
Documentation and guidance aligned to NFPA 701 and California Title 19, built to pass review the first time.

Straight AnswersFire Protection Advisory — Common Questions
What does a fire protection advisory service actually do?
We plan your fire retardant project before you spend a dollar on it — estimating real timelines and cost based on 60+ years of field data, recommending the right application method for your material and site conditions, and making sure the finished job meets NFPA 701 and California Title 19 without rework.
Do you only advise on DRI-ONE, or general fire protection too?
Both. DRI-ONE application planning is our core specialty, but our advisory work covers general fire retardant and fire protection projects — material selection, compliance strategy, and application planning — whether or not DRI-ONE ends up being the product used.
How can historical field data actually save money on a project?
Most fire retardant project overruns come from guessing at labor hours, over-ordering material, or picking the wrong application method for the surface. Sixty-plus years of real job data lets us tell you upfront what a comparable project actually took and cost, so you’re planning against reality instead of a sales estimate.
Do you help with NFPA 701 and California Title 19 compliance?
Yes. Advisory engagements include guidance on meeting NFPA 701 and California Title 19 requirements, plus documentation support for Fire Marshal and Building Official sign-off.
Is the advisory service only for large commercial jobs?
No. We work across scale — from single-structure private jobs to multi-site commercial and government contracts. The planning principles are the same; only the scope changes.
