Why security estimators use it

Three things that cost
security contractors on every package.

Security jobs die in the grey space between the alarm, the door hardware, the sparky, and the fire contractor. TradeScope flags the bits that usually land in a variation — or come out of your margin.

01 · Maglock on an exit, no fire-release

A maglock on a required exit with no door-release interface in the scope.

NCC Volume One D3D26 is blunt: an electrically locked door in or on the path to a required exit needs a fail-safe device that unlocks on sprinkler or detector activation. The interface sits between you and the fire contractor. If it is not in the security scope, it is not in the price — and it is still your door. TradeScope checks the drawings and the spec against D3D26 and flags the miss before the quote goes out.

NCC Volume One D3D26 · fail-safe unlock on sprinkler or detector activation
02 · "By others" with no owner

240V power, network ports, and door hardware prep written as "by others".

The spec dumps 240V to the panel and lock PSUs on the electrical contractor, VLANs and PoE switching on IT, and lock-prep plus fire-door certification on the door hardware supplier. Nobody is named. At handover those holes are yours. TradeScope surfaces every "by others" line so you can put an owner on it — or park it in exclusions: 240V by the electrical contractor, network switching and VLANs by others, door hardware prep and fire-door certification by the door hardware supplier.

03 · Counts that don't match the drawings

Device counts that don't match the drawings, and a door schedule that moves at addendum.

Readers, strikes, cameras, REX buttons, door contacts, detectors, keypads, sirens, duress buttons, intercom stations — the schedule says one number, the plan another, and Addendum 2 quietly adds a floor. TradeScope counts the field devices on the drawings, groups the BoQ into Intruder Detection, Access Control, Video Surveillance and Intercom, and holds the count for a human to review before anything is priced.

Compliance intelligence · Security Systems

AS/NZS 2201, 62676, NCC D3D26
on the items that miss.

TradeScope references the standards that actually govern electronic security in Australia. It flags the door-release interface, the monitoring-centre split, and the licence line. It does not certify the install, and it does not make a site compliant — that stays with you and the certifier.

Standards the security pack checks against

Intruder alarm
  • AS/NZS 2201.1:2007Intruder alarm systems — client's premises. Panel, keypad, detection, contacts, siren, duress. The pack extracts and gap-checks against this taxonomy.
  • AS 2201.2:2022Alarm and electronic security systems — Monitoring centres. The monitoring connection can sit in scope; back-to-base monitoring fees are an exclusion unless you price them.
Video surveillance
  • AS/NZS 62676 seriesVideo surveillance systems, including AS/NZS 62676.4:2026 application guidelines. Dome, bullet and PTZ cameras, NVR, VMS licences, PoE. Referenced on CCTV takeoff and commissioning items.
Access control
  • AS/NZS IEC 60839.11.1:2019Electronic access control systems. Door controller, card reader, electric strike, electromagnetic lock, request-to-exit, emergency door release.
  • AS/NZS IEC 60839.11.5:2023OSDP. Reader-to-controller communications referenced where the spec calls it up.
Door release · fire interface
  • NCC Vol 1 D3D26NCC Volume One D3D26 — operation of latch. An electrically locked door in or on the path to a required exit needs a fail-safe device that unlocks on sprinkler or detector activation.
  • AS 1670.1:2024Fire detection — the door-release interface. The pack flags the fire-alarm interface (door release on alarm) so it does not disappear into the fire contractor's package unpriced.

Cabling, wiring rules, and licensing

Cabling + power
  • AS/NZS 3000:2018Wiring Rules. 240V to panels and lock PSUs is electrical work. The pack flags it as by the electrical contractor unless it is clearly in your scope.
  • AS/CA S009:2020Customer cabling. Cat6 and alarm cable on a security job still sit under ACMA cabler registration where the run is customer cabling.
Licensing — electricians are not exempt
  • A state security equipment installer licence is needed to install alarms, CCTV and access control in most states. Holding an electrical licence does not cover it.
  • QLD — security equipment installer licence.
  • NSW — Class 2C.
Quote inclusions + exclusions the pack carries
  • Inclusions: programming, commissioning, user training, as-built device schedule.
  • Exclusions that cause variations: back-to-base monitoring fees, 240V power by the electrical contractor, network switching and VLANs by others, door hardware prep and fire-door certification by the door hardware supplier.
Electricians are not exempt. A state security equipment installer licence is needed to install alarms, CCTV and access control in most states — QLD security equipment installer licence, NSW Class 2C. TradeScope flags the licence line on the quote. It does not issue a licence, and it does not make the install compliant.
Priced from your catalogue
