Indicative planning estimate only — not a quotation. Refills and periodic hydro-testing of extinguishers are recurring costs beyond the purchase price, so budget for them separately. Match extinguisher types to the risks (see the type reference on the left) — the wrong type can make a fire worse. Signage and emergency lights are cheap but life-saving; do not cut them. This is a life-safety budget — do not skimp, and always get local quotes before you commit.
