The contract the law renews. Bill it like clockwork.
Fire safety is the rare trade where the diary is written by regulation: in the UAE, buildings need Civil Defence approval and an annual maintenance contract for their fire systems — compulsory, recurring, per building. A small fire firm lives on AMC renewals, inspection rectification works and renewal deadlines that cannot slip. InstaJack runs the per-building contracts, the rectification quotes and the deadline diary on one phone.
How is fire safety work won and quoted?
Two kinds of work feed the firm. The AMC: a yearly contract per building to maintain alarms, sprinklers, pumps, extinguishers and suppression systems, tied to Civil Defence approval. And the project work: installations and upgrades quoted per system, per floor, per device. Both are won on trust and paperwork — the building's owner or FM company needs a firm whose documents never embarrass them at inspection.
In InstaJack both are priced from your own price book: your AMC line per building type, your per-point and per-system installation rates, your testing and refilling lines, in your words. Quotes go out on WhatsApp and are approved on the link — a clean paper trail from day one, which is exactly the habit this discipline rewards. Related system trades keep their own guides, like CCTV & Security.
- AMC priced per building from your own contract lines
- Installation quoted per system, per floor or per point
- Extinguisher refilling and testing as saved book lines
- Approvals on the WhatsApp link, on record per building
How do AMC billing and renewal deadlines run?
Each building's contract bills on its own cycle — monthly, quarterly or annually — and renews against a certificate deadline. Miss the renewal window and the building is out of compliance and you are out of a contract; bill late and the year's cash arrives in apologies. Across dozens of buildings, those dates live in somebody's head until they don't.
Core — free forever — raises each contract invoice from the approved lines with your bank details on it, and the bookings diary holds the renewal dates and the scheduled maintenance visits per building. With the Service Pack (AED 79 per firm per month), every building keeps its service history: visits, tests and rectification works in order — the file you open at inspection and at renewal negotiation alike.
What happens after a Civil Defence inspection?
The inspection produces a list: rectification works — a pump to overhaul, fire stopping to redo, devices to replace, signage to fix — that must be completed and evidenced before approval is granted or renewed. That list is urgent, priced work, and it is usually quoted in a hurry, on paper, while the building's deadline burns.
In InstaJack the rectification list becomes a quote in minutes: lines from your book, sent on WhatsApp, approved on the link before your crew starts — so urgent never means unpriced. The completed work then sits in the building's record alongside its AMC history, ready to show at the re-inspection. Variations on installation projects work the same way, and with the Claim Pack (AED 79 per firm per month) progress claims on larger suppression or sprinkler installations run from pre-approved lines only.
- Rectification lists quoted from your book in minutes
- Approval on the link before urgent work starts
- Completed works filed in the building's own record
- Progress claims from pre-approved lines (Claim Pack)
Getting started honestly: no fire-safety starter book
Straight answer: there is no built-in starter price book for fire safety in InstaJack — and no page should pretend otherwise. Contract values depend on the building, the systems installed and the scope the approval demands; invented defaults would price real buildings wrong.
What InstaJack does give every firm is its own price book: add your AMC lines, your installation rates and your testing lines once, at your prices, and contracts, rectification quotes and renewals all draw from it. Start on Core, free forever. One honesty note in the other direction too: InstaJack organises your contracts and paperwork — it does not grant approvals, and nothing here replaces dealing with Civil Defence itself.

Asked often, answered straight.
Does InstaJack include fire safety AMC prices?+
No. Fire safety has no built-in starter book, because contract values depend on the building, its systems and the required scope. You add your own AMC, installation and testing lines once, and every quote and renewal uses them.
How are per-building AMC invoices handled?+
Each building is a customer record with its approved contract lines. Raise its invoice on its own cycle — monthly, quarterly or yearly — with your bank details on it, and keep its renewal date in the bookings diary.
Can rectification work be quoted and approved quickly?+
Yes. Turn the inspection list into a quote from your price book, send it on WhatsApp, and get approval on the link before work starts. The completed rectification then files into that building's record for re-inspection.
What does InstaJack cost a fire safety firm?+
Core is free forever: quotes, your own price book, WhatsApp approvals, invoices with bank details and the bookings diary. The Service Pack is AED 79 per firm per month, and the Claim Pack is also AED 79.
