KABO GROUP reviews the available information, prepares an agreed technical scope and completes the work with the defined documentation.
Inputs, system interfaces and completion evidence are agreed before work begins.

Open section↗We assess the building use, protected area, fire risks, existing engineering services and the required performance before agreeing the technical solution.
The estimate reflects system size, equipment or materials, access conditions, interfaces, commissioning and the completion documents agreed for the project.
KABO GROUP can survey, design, supply, install, test and hand over the system, followed by planned maintenance where required.
During application we record material batches, substrate preparation, ambient conditions, consumption and intermediate measurements. Coatings are checked for thickness, continuity and adhesion; boards and penetration seals are checked as complete tested assemblies.
Handover may include work records, concealed-work records, area drawings, inspection protocols, material documentation and maintenance guidance. The exact package is agreed in the contract and design.
Timber may be treated with impregnation, varnish, paint or protective encasement. The method depends on species, section size, moisture, surface access, exposure and the required fire performance.
Application follows moisture checks and substrate preparation. Impregnation is controlled by consumption and uptake; coatings by layer count, continuity and compatibility with decorative finishes.
Fire-treated timber requires periodic condition assessment, particularly in damp, unheated or exposed areas. Damage, leaching, redecoration or structural repairs may affect performance.
Records identify the product, consumption, areas, application date and inspection conditions. Reinspection or retreatment intervals follow product documentation and actual condition.
This list explains the regulatory basis but is not a substitute for a project or a complete schedule for every building. Document status, amendments and building-specific requirements are verified when the project starts.
Regulates fireproofing work, conformity checks and continued serviceability of coatings, impregnation, encasement and products.

Open on YouTube ↗Videos are provided by the official Ammokote fire-protection materials channel. The project defines the applicable system and coating thickness.
We receive drawings, specifications, fire-resistance requirements and available information about the site.
We verify the actual condition, geometry, access and preparation requirements.
We select a compatible fireproofing system and define the required scope.
We agree materials, quantities, site conditions, responsibilities and timing.
After moisture, surface cleanliness and product compatibility have been checked.
We start with the available information, a site survey and an agreed technical brief.
Cost depends on floor area, building configuration, system scope, access conditions and the required completion documents.
The building type, city, approximate area and required system are enough to begin.
