Which Clients do We Serve, and How do We Help Them With Quantity Takeoff Services?

  1. Developers

    Developers and investors need quantity takeoffs in the early phases of a construction project’s planning to determine if it is worth their time and money. We deliver the most reliable initial estimates during quantity takeoff services, based on square footage prices for finished projects and superstructures, according to our industry experience.

  2. General Contractors

    Before beginning any project in any construction configuration or project delivery mode, general contractors frequently contact us to review their bids provided by their subcontractors. Our team of construction estimators provides extremely accurate preconstruction final quantity takeoffs and estimates through quantity takeoff services to solidify the figure for construction projects.

  3. Subcontractors

    Performing takeoffs and estimates as a contractor is usually time intensive and disrupt production. As a result, many subcontractors come to us for accurate and thorough quantity takeoffs. We finish their bids for submission to their clients (owners and General Contractors) in 24-48 hours, saving them 60% on estimating costs. In addition, contractors can use our material takeoff and quantity takeoff services for bid estimates, procurement, and supply.

  4. Homeowners & Builders

Through our experienced and dependable quantity takeoff services, our estimators take off the project and provide projected material and labor price before applying for financing, obtaining supplier quotations, and checking bids.

  5. Architects And Designers

    While preparing the drawing designs, architects must closely adhere to their client’s budget constraints. As a result, during our quantity takeoff services, we provide precise takeoffs and design estimates to assist clients in all aspects of project design and planning.

What are the Benefits of Outsourcing Your Quantity Takeoffs To Us?

  1. Cost-Effective Solutions

    Our quantity takeoffs depend on the nature of the project, which costs roughly $200 for a given transaction. We also provide monthly material takeoff packages that can save you up to 60% on the cost of hiring an in-house estimate.

  2. Accuracy

    We can assure accuracy in our material takeoffs and estimates by using cutting-edge takeoff tools like Planswift and RS Means and a database of location-based pricing. We make sure that the correctness of the estimations is double-checked by double-checking. Construction estimators and senior quantity surveyors create the material takeoff, subsequently approved by a senior project manager.

  3. Quick Response Times

    We have the quickest turnaround speeds in the industry, with turnaround times ranging from 24 to 48 hours. For residential projects, we typically deliver concrete, masonry, painting, drywall, and lumber takeoffs within 24 hours, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and structural steel takeoffs within 36 hours, and a complete takeoff within 48 hours. Commercial projects also rely on the intricacy of the task.

  4. Database of Exact Costs

    Our estimators use RS Means and Craftsman to achieve precision in takeoffs. We’ve also established an extensive updated database that provides material and labor prices based on zip code and location-specific limitations. We also take the client’s local vendor and labor prices into consideration.

  5. Software

    Planswift, Bluebeam, RS Means, Cost Works, Trimble, Xactimate, FastPIPE, FastDuct, and Quest Estimating are all used by our construction estimators.

  6. Digital Takeoff

    We measure the amounts with the aid of the most up-to-date digital program, Planswift, which allows the estimator to take off the quantities using a point-and-click approach. It eliminates the risk of mistakes that might otherwise occur if you took off manually. We accept the following formats for drawing plans: TIF, .TIFF, .PDF, .DXF, .DWF, .DWG, .PLN, .JPG, .JPEG, .CPC, OSX, .DJVU, .CAL

  7. Format for Takeoff

    The estimate comes in EXCEL spreadsheet format and includes item descriptions, quantities, units of measurement, and location. Material takeoff services can organize all line items in CSI MasterFormat, Uniformat, cost code, or construction phase. We can also use your format to offer precise results based on your specifications to give material takeoff.

  8. Cost of Labor

    If the customer requests it, we include labor costs in our takeoffs. As a result, it aids them in pricing negotiations with their subcontractors. We consider skilled and unskilled labor needs, area pay variances, and delivery costs in most CSI trades.

  9. Manhours

    We also compute labor person-hours, material labor takeoff, and price for most of our clients.

  10. Marked-Up Plans

    We have color-coded marked-up plans in our quantity takeoff, with each description and detail accurately referenced on the drawings.
