Penetrations get added. Make sure they get billed.
On a typical firestopping job, the drawing set changes three times and MEP trades punch holes that were never in the original scope. Every penetration not captured at install time is a penetration that may not make it onto the invoice. Revecta closes that gap.
What typically falls off the invoice
Firestopping revenue leakage is almost always scope that was done correctly but documented too late — after the conversation ended and the crew moved to the next floor.
- ▸Penetrations added after the original drawing set was priced
- ▸Material upgrades the GC requested verbally on site
- ▸Return trips to rework penetrations that were repositioned by other trades
- ▸Scope added when MEP contractors punched additional holes mid-project
- ▸Standby time when access to a floor was restricted
- ▸Documentation hours for owner-required third-party inspection support
How Revecta works for firestopping crews
Field-first capture — penetrations logged at install, not rebuilt from drawings at the end of the month.
Log each penetration as it's installed
Location, floor, room, penetrant, annular space, system used, and quantity of material — captured in the field at install time, not reconstructed from memory at billing.
Flag field-directed scope additions immediately
When a GC or MEP trade directs additional work verbally, the foreman logs it as a field event — what, who, when — so the addition is documented before the conversation is forgotten.
Compile a Proof-of-Work document for GC review
Every captured penetration and field event rolls up into a single auditable document. The GC reviews and approves it via a secure link — no account required.
Recovery Engine flags anything not yet billed
Revecta scans all documented work for items that are captured but not priced, submitted, or invoiced — and surfaces them before they fall off the invoice entirely.
Built around firestopping field workflows
Revecta's field templates capture the data firestopping work actually generates — not a generic form adapted from general construction. Every field event becomes part of an auditable record that supports your invoice rather than leaving the GC to take your word for it.
Frequently asked questions
How does Revecta handle firestopping penetration logs?
Field crews log each penetration — location, penetrant type, annular space, firestop system, and quantity of material used — as they work. Photos can be attached per penetration. The log becomes a Proof-of-Work document the GC can review and approve without creating an account.
What about penetrations added after the original drawing set?
Those are exactly what falls off the invoice on a typical firestopping job. Revecta captures them at the point of direction, timestamped, so they appear in the work record rather than disappearing into a verbal conversation.
Can Revecta document firestop system submittals and approvals?
Revecta focuses on field capture and billing proof — what was installed, where, and when, with GC-reviewed approval. For submittal management, it works alongside your existing process rather than replacing it.
Does it work on projects with multiple MEP trades punching holes?
Yes. Each firestopping crew logs their own work. The Proof-of-Work document aggregates all captured work for GC review, making it clear what your scope covered versus what other trades installed.
