Each rate applies only to devices in that band. Standard scope assumes usable CAD and complete system information.
Standard package: $750

Examples
40 devices: $750 · 45: $825 · 80: $1,335 · 100: $1,575.
How device counts work
Count devices added, relocated, replaced or newly documented. Horn/strobes, speaker/strobes and detectors with sounder bases each count as one device. Reference-only existing devices do not count; investigation or reconstruction is scoped separately.
Complex scope and exclusions
Complex interfaces require a separate quote regardless of device count. Standard new systems can use the base pricing model.
Circuitline provides fire alarm design and drafting services only. We do not provide professional engineering services or PE seals, site visits, field verification, installation, panel programming, or field testing. Permit filing and fees remain the contractor’s responsibility. CAD reconstruction is quoted separately; editable CAD is included only when specified.
Included in your scope
One contractor review and original-scope AHJ corrections. Designer errors corrected at no added fee.
Standard turnaround
Typically 3–5 business days for small scopes after deposit and complete inputs.
Changes are agreed first
New scope, revised backgrounds and substitutions require agreed pricing before additional work.
