The fastest way to identify firestop clashes in BIM with just the push of a button!
Our Vision
To create a digital platform that offers and simplifies design automation for firestopping by leveraging the power of BIM.
Our Mission
To transform the passive fire protection industry with innovative technology that improves building safety and reduces costs.
Our Promise
To streamline your firestop design process, reducing the time required by up to 90%.
Advantages
Think bigger. Design faster.
Boost your firestop design with intelligent clash detection and automated product selection.
TURNING CHALLENGES INTO OPPORTUNITIES
Your problem, solved.
To install a certified firestop system, walls and floors must be properly constructed, penetrations correctly supported, and openings properly sized and spaced apart. Services within each opening must follow tested configurations and maintain the correct minimum spacing between them.
Achieving this requires passive fire protection to be an integral part of the design process, with the firestop design automated for precision and efficiency.

Our digital platform connects firestop end users with firestop manufacturers, aiming to improve quality and reduce costs.
What is a firestop clash?
A firestop clash is a unique clash position in BIM and occurs when a building element, such as a pipe, cable, or duct, passes through a fire-rated barrier. In these cases, a firestop solution is needed to maintain the structure’s fire-resistance and ensure it meets safety regulations.
