Why MassTek
MassTek Fire and Life Safety provides specialized estimating, design, and consulting across fire alarm, ERCES/BDA, and Area of Refuge systems — the kind of hands-on technical depth that’s increasingly hard to find in the industry.
Led by Denis Massa, MassTek brings 30 years in the fire & life safety industry and NICET Level IV certification — the highest of NICET’s four levels — to every estimate, design, and consultation.
From a first site survey and bill of materials, to shop drawings, PE-signed and sealed documents, full design, scaled floor plans, and AHJ coordination, MassTek acts as an extension of your team — helping you quote faster, take on more complex work, and deliver code-compliant systems with confidence.
Services
Each service is scoped and priced for the fire & life safety market. Detailed pricing is available on request — the structure of how each service is priced is outlined below.
Fixed price per quote, per building/address. “Per building/address” covers cases such as multi-building, multi-system campuses (non-networked) and separate addresses billed on a single bid.
Lets junior or non-fire sales reps quote with confidence on expert backend support, opens the door to high-margin system upgrades and replacements, and is ideal for end-user sales and bids backed by strong contractor or customer relationships.
A flat starting price for Fire Alarm or AOR (including submittals, riser, details, and battery calcs), plus a per-floor/sheet rate that scales by system type.
Fixed per-sheet pricing keeps estimating simple and predictable and eliminates margin erosion — your rate stays stable even through iterative revisions with architects and engineers.
Applies to unlimited revise and resubmit on the base job. *Excludes change orders and PE re-sign / re-seal.
Fire alarm and Area of Refuge design
A flat starting price for Fire Alarm design plus a per-floor/sheet rate.
A single accountable engineer of record for your fire alarm and Area of Refuge systems, with sealed documents ready for permit and construction.
In-building public-safety radio coverage — from as-built signal survey assessment through complete, code-compliant ERCES design.
Signal survey assessment
ERCES design deliverables
A complete, code-compliant design of the Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System — radio coverage, system infrastructure, and supporting utilities — per the applicable Fire Code and AHJ requirements. Deliverables include a digital submittal book, system riser diagram, and construction floor plans.
Surveys are tiered by building square footage (under 50K, 51K–250K, 250K–500K, and 500K–1M sq. ft.). Engineering/design is also tiered by square footage, with separate rate schedules for 700/800 MHz and UHF/VHF systems. Hard-copy drawing packages are available.
*The survey must be done after construction is complete and interior walls are installed (as-built conditions).
The seal is included in Full Design Documents pricing and is optional on Shop Drawings and Submittals. Re-sign and re-seal is excluded from the shop-drawing revision allowance.
Priced per square foot with a project minimum, plus an optional per-square-foot add-on for scaled CAD (DWG/DXF) and/or PDF digital drawings. Hard-copy packages price per page plus shipping.
Missing floor plans are one of the biggest obstacles to good design. This service removes that barrier and supports every system in the building — well beyond fire protection.
Priced per half-day visit, per full-day visit, or per Teams meeting.
A seasoned fire & life safety resource on call — without adding headcount — to keep projects moving and compliant.
