Fire-alarm budget

Enter your detector count, control-panel cost, call points and sounders, fire-rated cabling and an installation percentage to get an indicative rupee budget — with hardware, cabling, commissioning and GST split out. Addressable systems cost more than conventional ones but locate the fire precisely; fire-rated cable and commissioning are not optional. This is a budget starting point, not a quotation.

Indicative planning estimate only — not a quotation. A fire alarm is life-safety equipment: a licensed fire agency must design and install it to the NBC and IS 2189 — never skimp on life-safety to hit a budget. Addressable systems cost more than conventional ones but pinpoint the fire; fire-rated cable and commissioning are not optional. Prices vary by grade, brand, riser height and region — always get 2–3 local quotes before you budget.
