Managing a fire protection project involves hundreds of moving parts. Drawings to approve. Materials to track. Tests to witness. Documents to submit. Snags to close out. Handover certificates to collect.
Most fire protection contractors manage all of this across scattered spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages and paper files. Records get lost. Tests get missed. Handover drags on for months because nobody can find the commissioning certificate.
This template fixes that.
What Is This File?
The Fire Protection Project Management Records is a complete Excel-based project management system built specifically for fire protection contractors, engineers and project managers.
It covers the entire project lifecycle — from contract award through design, procurement, installation, testing, commissioning and final handover — in one organised, professional file.
What Is Inside
The file contains 12 tabs, each covering a specific area of project management.
Project Register Your project master record. Client name, consultant, contract value, systems included, key dates, retention percentage, defects liability period and current project status — all in one place.
Scope of Work An equipment schedule covering 7 system types and over 80 line items. Track quantity designed, approved, installed and tested for every item — sprinkler heads, alarm devices, pump components, hydrant materials, suppression equipment, passive fire protection and extinguishers.
Project Schedule 60 milestones organised across 6 project phases from pre-construction to handover. Planned start, planned end, actual dates, duration formula, priority and status dropdown for every activity.
Cost and Budget Control Over 40 cost line items covering materials, labour, subcontractors, preliminaries and overheads. The file automatically calculates budget total, actual cost, variance and percentage of budget utilised.
Manpower Log Daily labour deployment tracker. Enter worker name, trade, hours worked and daily rate — the file calculates total hours and daily cost automatically. Summary totals at the bottom.
Material Tracker Track every material from submittal to site delivery. Submittal reference, approval date, approval status, purchase order date, expected delivery, actual delivery, quantity ordered and quantity received — all tracked in one table.
Inspection and Test Records Over 50 inspection and test activities across 5 phases. Material inspections, in-process checks, pipe pressure tests, fire pump performance tests, fire alarm system tests and full commissioning witness records. Pass, Fail and Conditional Pass dropdowns.
Document and Drawing Register Over 60 document types across drawings, calculations, submittals, method statements, risk assessments, authority certificates and handover documents. Document type and revision status dropdowns included.
Risk Register 20 common fire protection project risks are already entered — design approval delays, material delivery problems, pressure test failures, scope creep, subcontractor performance issues and more. The file automatically calculates a risk score and classifies each risk as Critical, High, Medium or Low.
Snag and Defect Log 50-row punch list tracker with automatic summary counts for open, in-progress, completed and critical snags. System dropdown and priority dropdown on every row.
Handover Checklist 50 handover items across technical completion, authority certificates, documentation, training and commercial close-out. The file automatically calculates percentage of handover complete.
