WHO ARE OUR CLIENTS AND HOW WE SUPPORT THEM WITH MATERIAL & LABOR TAKEOFF SOLUTIONS?
Developers
During the initial planning phase of any construction project, developers and investors rely on accurate quantity takeoffs and material cost assessments to determine whether a project is financially viable. With extensive industry experience, we provide detailed preliminary estimates and material quantity analyses, offering reliable cost projections based on square footage pricing for both completed projects and structural frameworks.
General Contractors
General contractors often turn to us to cross-check bids submitted by their subcontractors before committing to any project. Our expert construction estimators deliver highly detailed preconstruction quantity takeoffs and cost breakdowns, ensuring contractors have reliable data to base their final project numbers on.
Subcontractors
For subcontractors, preparing takeoffs and estimates can be both time-consuming and disruptive to core operations. That’s why many subcontractors partner with us to handle this process. We deliver precise, itemized takeoffs and cost estimates, helping them finalize competitive bids for submission to owners and general contractors within 24-48 hours — all at up to 60% lower estimating costs. Our material and labor takeoff solutions also support procurement and supply chain planning.
Homeowners & Builders
Homebuilders and property owners need reliable cost assessments before initiating their projects. Our estimators perform comprehensive project takeoffs, delivering clear material and labor cost projections to support financing applications, supplier negotiations, and bid verifications — all through our trusted takeoff services.
Architects & Designers
Architects must design within their client’s budget constraints, which makes accurate cost data essential throughout the design process. We provide precise design-phase takeoffs and estimates, empowering architects to balance creativity with cost control during all phases of project planning.
Vendors & Suppliers
Accurate material takeoffs also benefit vendors and material suppliers, enabling them to recommend the correct quantities for client orders. This improves customer satisfaction, reduces waste, and fosters long-term business relationships — all while contributing to sustainable, environmentally responsible practices.
WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER OUTSOURCING YOUR QUANTITY TAKEOFFS SERVICES TO US?
Outsourcing material takeoff services is always the best solution to all your estimating requirements. It relieves you from the frustration of paperwork, spares you to focus on your core business, and lets you add value. And at the same time, you get the material estimates done in an accurate and expert manner by a professional estimating company within the fastest turnaround times.
Not just that, it also saves you the expense of hiring a fulltime construction estimator while the accuracy never gets compromised.
We offer:
Cost-effective Solutions
Our quantity takeoffs are around $200 for a specific trade depending on the complexity of your project. We also offer monthly material takeoff packages that can save you 60% expense of an in-house estimator.
Accuracy
By employing the latest takeoff software like Planswift, RS Means, and our huge database of location-based pricing, we can ensure accuracy in our material takeoffs and estimates. Our material takeoff specialists assure double verification of the accuracy of the estimates. Once the material takeoff is prepared by construction estimators and senior quantity surveyors, it is then reviewed by a senior project manager.
Quick Turnaround Times
We offer the fastest turnaround times of 24 to 48 hours. To elaborate it further, we usually deliver concrete, masonry, painting, drywall, lumber takeoffs after 24 hours, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and structural steel takeoffs after 36 hours and a complete takeoff in 48 hours for residential projects. And it depends on the complexity of work for commercial projects.
Precise Cost Database
Our estimators achieve precision in takeoffs by using RS Means, Craftsman and we have also developed a huge updated database that supplies material and labor pricing according to the zip code and location-specific constraints. We also accept the client’s local vendor and labor pricing.
Software
Our expert construction estimators are proficient with Planswift, Bluebeam, RS Means, Cost Works, Trimble, Xactimate, FastPIPE, FastDUCT, and Quest Estimating.
Digital Takeoff
We measure the quantities with the help of the latest digital software i.e. Planswift which easily imports the drawing plans and allows the estimator to takeoff the quantities by point and click method. This automation rules out the chances of errors that otherwise occur if you calculate material costs manually. We accept drawing plans in the following formats:
.TIF, .TIFF, .PDF,.DXF,. DWF, .DWG, .PLN, .JPG, JPEG, .CPC, .OSX, .DJVU, .CAL
Takeoff Format
The estimate is delivered in EXCEL spreadsheets and contains item description, quantity, unit of measurement, and location. All line items in the material takeoff services can be organized either in CSI MasterFormat, Uniformat, by cost code, or construction phase. We can also utilize your customized format as per your requirements to deliver accurate material takeoff.
Labor Cost
Our takeoffs also include labor cost if required by the client. It helps them in negotiating prices with their subcontractors. We take into account skilled and unskilled labor requirements, local wage variations, and deliver labor costs in most of the CSI trades.
