A Jarrell number that holds
after award.
Bahl Fireproofing has been a commercial fireproofing subcontractor since 1977, working out of Round Rock, Texas. In Jarrell 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 Jarrell 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 Jarrell actually adopted
Jarrell adopted the 2018 IBC and the 2018 IFC under Ordinance 2022-0322-01, effective 22 March 2022. The codified local amendments cover jurisdiction naming, flood map references, board composition and appeals, and none of them touch fire-resistance-rated construction, fireproofing or special inspection. Jarrell has no local energy code division, so absent a local adoption the Texas statewide commercial energy code applies, which is the 2015 IECC under 34 TAC 19.53(a).
Jarrell 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.

Do you actually work in Jarrell, or just bid it?
Igo Elementary is ours. Igo Elementary is on our projects page. Jarrell is also the closest work we do to the shop, which shows up in the number.
Which code edition applies in Jarrell?
Jarrell adopted the 2018 IBC and the 2018 IFC under Ordinance 2022-0322-01, effective 22 March 2022. The codified local amendments cover jurisdiction naming, flood map references, board composition and appeals, and none of them touch fire-resistance-rated construction, fireproofing or special inspection. Jarrell has no local energy code division, so absent a local adoption the Texas statewide commercial energy code applies, which is the 2015 IECC under 34 TAC 19.53(a).
What climate zone is Jarrell 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 Jarrell?
Same week in most cases. Jarrell is a twenty five minute drive from where the equipment sits.
Do you sub the work out in Jarrell?
No. Our own crews and our own equipment come to Jarrell. 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.
