TAKEOFF & QUANTITY

Construction Takeoff Service

Exact Quantities Measured Directly from Your Drawings

Professional Construction Takeoff Service

A takeoff is only as good as the person reading the drawings, and ours are produced by estimators who have worked the trades they measure. We quantify every material item from your architectural, structural and MEP sheets using PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu and On-Screen Takeoff, then apply waste factors that reflect how the material actually installs rather than a flat percentage across the board. Openings, returns, corners and drops are all counted, because those are the items that quietly erode margin once the job starts. You receive colour-coded markups showing exactly what was measured and where, so any quantity can be traced straight back to the sheet it came from. We work from PDF, DWG, DXF and Revit files, and we can measure from scanned drawings or hand sketches when a clean electronic set does not exist.

Key Benefits

Digital Plan Analysis

Every sheet is measured on screen at true scale, with revisions and addenda cross-checked against the base set so superseded drawings never end up in your numbers.

Verified Quantity Calculations

All quantities are checked by a second estimator before release. Counts are broken out by area, level and system so you can price them however your bid is structured.

Material Lists With Real Waste Factors

Waste is applied per material and installation method rather than as a blanket allowance, which keeps ordering realistic without padding the bid.

Construction Takeoff Service — FAQs

Which drawing formats can you work from?

PDF, DWG, DXF and Revit, plus any of the common CAD exports. If all you have is a scanned set or a hand sketch, send it across — we measure from those regularly and will flag anything that cannot be read with confidence.

How is the takeoff delivered?

You receive colour-coded PDF markups alongside an editable Excel workbook organised by category, with waste factors and labour units already applied so the quantities drop straight into your pricing.

How quickly can a takeoff be turned around?

Standard delivery is three to five business days. Where a bid deadline is tight, our rush service returns completed takeoffs within 48 hours at the same level of detail.
