A Round Rock number that holds
after award.
Bahl Fireproofing has been a commercial fireproofing subcontractor since 1977, working out of Round Rock, Texas. In Round Rock we self-perform spray-applied fireproofing, intumescent coatings, K-13 sprayed fiber, spray foam and Core-Fill masonry insulation on our own crews and our own equipment.
What we do before we price a Round Rock job is confirm the adopted code edition and the local amendments with the authority having jurisdiction. That is the whole reason our number does not turn into a change order in month three, and it is the section below.
The code Round Rock actually adopted
2024 IBC, 2024 IECC and 2024 IFC, adopted by the city and administered through Planning and Development Services. The adopting ordinance number and effective date are not published on the city page, and we have not been able to confirm the local amendments to IBC Chapter 7 or Chapter 17 from an official source, so we confirm both with the plans examiner before pricing rather than assuming the model code applies unamended.
Round Rock is in Climate Zone 2A (Williamson County), which is what sets the envelope side of the job. We price the assembly on your drawings against the edition this jurisdiction enforces, not the model code.
What we are usually doing in Round Rock
Schools and district facilities, medical office, distribution and the tech-corridor build-outs that run north out of Austin.

Do you actually work in Round Rock, or just bid it?
This is where the shop is. Round Rock is the home market and the shortest mobilization we have. Crews stage here, the equipment is here, and a Williamson County job does not carry travel in the number.
Which code edition applies in Round Rock?
2024 IBC, 2024 IECC and 2024 IFC, adopted by the city and administered through Planning and Development Services. The adopting ordinance number and effective date are not published on the city page, and we have not been able to confirm the local amendments to IBC Chapter 7 or Chapter 17 from an official source, so we confirm both with the plans examiner before pricing rather than assuming the model code applies unamended.
What climate zone is Round Rock in?
Climate Zone 2A, Williamson County. That is the figure the adopted energy code keys off, and it drives the insulation specification and which side of the assembly the vapour control belongs on.
How fast can you mobilize to Round Rock?
Same week once submittals clear, most of the time. There is no crew rotation to wait for on a Round Rock job.
Do you sub the work out in Round Rock?
No. Our own crews and our own equipment come to Round Rock. Nobody local is carrying our name on your project, which is why the install standard is the same here as it is on a job outside our own front door.
What do you need to give me a number?
Drawings with the rated assemblies, the spec sections for the systems in our scope, the substrate, the areas by square foot and the bid due date. If the documents are unclear we ask rather than guess.
What states do you work in?
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arizona, Minnesota and Wisconsin, out of Round Rock, Texas. We travel for the right project and we are prequalified with national and regional general contractors across the territory.
Are you prequalified, bonded and insured?
Yes. We carry commercial general liability, auto, workers compensation and umbrella coverage, and we go through GC prequalification regularly. Send us your prequal packet and insurance requirements with the bid documents and we will return them completed.
The rest of Texas
Round Rock is one market. The state page has the full picture, the other cities we cover and how the code situation works across Texas.
