MATERIAL TAKEOFF SERVICES IN ORDER TO DETERMINE MATERIAL QUANTITY

We have extensive experience with labor and material capacity takeoffs. We can estimate construction materials faster and more accurately than most estimators. Material takeoff services are available for the following building trades:

  • Site work takeoffs
  • Concrete takeoff
  • Masonry takeoff
  • Precast takeoff
  • Reinforcing steel takeoff
  • Lumber takeoff
  • Drywall takeoff
  • Insulation takeoff
  • Roofing takeoff
  • Millwork takeoff
  • Doors & window takeoff
  • Cabinet takeoff
  • Flooring takeoff
  • Stucco takeoff
  • Metal framing takeoff
  • Painting takeoff
  • Wall covering
  • Electric
  • Plumbing
  • Sod
  • Finishes
  • Mechanical

GET LABOR COSTS FROM OUR MATERIAL TAKEOFF SERVICES

Controlling your material labour takeoff costs is just as useful. We can calculate labor capacities for the vast majority of construction trades. Users will give you the single block qualification for your frame masons, the equation and square footages of cement to be poured by your carpenters, the total number of panels to be held by their baseboard trim hanger, and the square footage of tile to be laid by your floor mason.

COMPUTER TAKEOFF

We also automated the takeoff method with takeoff software and digitizers. We use software to transfer electronic proposals and then perform takeoff on-screen. We use an image for contractors who no longer have hard copy plans. We need less time to perform such a takeoff than non-computerized contractors.

If your material cost estimator does his takeoffs with such a scale and a legal pad, you’re wasting time and money. You will receive a color-coded plan that depicts the quantified areas, including the takeoff. The software we use can read the following image files:

  • .TIF
  • .TIFF
  • .PDF
  • .DXF
  • .DWF
  • .DWG
  • .PLN
  • .JPG, JPEG
  • .CPC
  • .OSX
  • .DJVU
  • .CAL

TAKEOFF FORMAT

The takeoff will be in Microsoft Excel and include the item, quantity, and location. We set up the takeoff in various material estimate configurations, such as Channel state information, cost code, and construction phase. Your estimating excel spreadsheet can be used by entering the amounts into the appropriate item and price codes. We can also list the items by location, which would serve as an audit trail.

FIELD AUDIT

We can come to your jobsite and conduct a material audit after providing you with free takeoff. The project estimator will double-check that the correct items and amounts were provided. After your subcontractor has completed their work, we will record any deviations. We’ll revise the material and email it to you. Your substrate material takeoff is now the takeoff. As a result, the next time you build that particular model home, you’ll have a precise material cost.

OUR TURNAROUND TIMES

Most residential takeoffs were completed within 24-48 hours of receiving a complete set of plans. Concrete and masonry takeoffs are completed the following day, lumber takeoffs are completed the next day, slab thru lintel takes three days, and a complete launch takes two days. Commercial projects are not all the same.

DATABASE OF EXACT COSTS

Our estimators achieve specificity in takeoffs by using RS Means and Craftsman. We have also created a massively updated database that provides material and labor pricing based on postal code and area constraints. We also accept the client’s local vendor and labor pricing.

OUR ACCURACY

Even though there are many independent cost estimators, we can validate our accuracy. We take pride in consistently averaging proper takeoffs. As a result, more money is saved.

DIGITAL TAKEOFF

We evaluate the quantities with the most recent digital software, Planswift, which allows the estimator to easily import the illustration strategies and subtract the amounts with a point-and-click method. This automation eliminates the possibility of mistakes occurring if you take off manually.

COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS

Depending on the complexity of your business, our quantity takeoffs cost around $200 for a specific deal. We also offer material takeoff deals every month, which can save you up to 50% off the cost of the estimator.

GREEN BUILDING

The construction industry has become significantly more experienced. Because our material takeoff services are highly accurate, there is less waste on your job sites. You’re not paying your cleaning crew to get rid of excellent material. We already help the environment by using digital plans that are virtually paperless. We email the takeoff instead of printing and faxing it. When you combine the relatively minor waste transfer elements with the environmental impacts, you have a win-win situation for your business.
